Ichiro's+Diary

Please read the handout "Ichiro's Diary". It will provide you with a different perspective than what we've encountered in class thus far. Through propaganda the Japanese military encouraged everyone, allies and foes alike, to believe that all Japanese conformed to support the war and sacrifice their lives for the cause. According to the military establishment, this was the only acceptable form of patriotism. How does this reading undermine these assumptions? Feel free to express questions or ideas that may be unrelated to the aforementioned question.
