The Japanese did not believe that surrender was an honorable thing. They also never signed the Geneva Convention. Because of this, their soldiers preferred death to capture and did not understand why ours did not. They thought the surrender of our soldiers in the Philippines was a dishonorable act and treated the men they captured like they had no honor, often straight out killing them.
