On Guadalcanal, the Americans were amazed that some of the Japanese soldiers fought them hand to hand with swords. This is in the strictest tradition of Samurai. But, moreover, the indoctrination of these men and the culture of the Samurai pervaded Japanese society. Bushido called for courtesy to your enemy only if they merited it. If the enemy demanded bushido before death and the Japanese executioner could not provide it, the condemned were supposed to be allowed to live. But to surrender was the lowest thing that any warrior could do and called for execution.
