a few years ago I watched a documentary and they had footage of youth training programs similar that those of the Hitler youths, except they were in Japan and showed how they were conditioning their children to accept a military society. It helped answer a question I had heard over and over about why young college educated men would fight to the death or become Kamikazi pilots. That question assumed a more normal childhood without an indoctrination program geared to turning a nation's youth into combatants. I have not doubts that those films were ignored in current textbooks, as well.   

How do you explain a "cultural revolution" that destroys the past instead of preserving it? Well, that little red book might have a few answers in it.
