At random: The first Japanese prisoner of war captured by the Americans was Kazuo Sakamaki, an ensign in the Imperial Japanese Navy. He was captured on the morning of December 7, 1941. Sakamaki had set an explosive charge to destroy his disabled submarine, which had been trapped on Waimanalo Beach. When the explosives failed to go off, he swam to the bottom of the submarine to investigate the cause of the failure and became unconscious due to a lack of oxygen. Sakamaki was found by a Hawaiian soldier, David Akui, and was taken into military custody. When he awoke, he found himself in a hospital under American armed guard. After the war he returned to Japan and found work with the Toyota Motor Corporation before retiring in 1987. Sakamaki died on November 29, 1999, aged 81.

Yeah, I know what you mean, we wish Blue could talk too. At least so's we can understand. You should have seen him whimpering on a morning after.... he kept complaining about all the noise... we didn't have the heart to tell him he was eating dry cereal with no milk.

Yep I can certainly relate Blue and the whimpering part of the story, oh and the eating bit but not the ability to catch his own.

POD, you need to take Blue and give him some intensive refresher training. He's getting old before his time.
