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 maybe, or perhaps living a pure life untainted by modern chemically infused food would extend their lives by several years.

@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.
