Do You Suppose there are any more Japanese Soldiers Hiding in the Jungle?

I think the last one found was back in the 70's.

If they were 17 at the end of the war, they'd be 94 now. Reaching that age without medical support would be very unlikely.

@BlueVeins I think by the end of the war the Japanese were fielding soldiers younger than 17, so a hold-put might be a few years younger.

@GerOttman Give me a break dude, life expectancy has only climbed up and up and up as modern amenities have improved.

@ChipmunkErnie true

@BlueVeins we have a lot of dandy interventions and treatments, I'm not convinced it's an improvement. we might live even longer with the same treatments and fewer toxins in our environments.

I hope not. Singapore suffered under the Japanese.

@Longpatrol I was reading yesterday about a battlefield in New Guinea where the dead soldiers remain to this day where they fell in battle.

@Longpatrol It was one of those pop up things on FB. Not sure if I can find it again. I'll look.

Probably not the WWII type -- they'd be AWFUL old these days.

The NPA or Constabulary would have gotten them by now, assisted by local farmers.

From WW2 would be dead now.
