The Japanese Imperial Army and the Imperial Japanese Army in the Third World

The combination of the warrior and estate is not uniquely Japanese, but the ideology that pushed them together was. After Japan modernized as a society in the 1860s, the Japanese Imperial ruling class went for a national conscript army along Western lines. Many Westerners still remember hideous disfigurements, malnutrition, and mistreatment of prisoners by the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second World War. The machimists of this world never really commented on this, because their system of moral ethics is in some ways different to a dualist or Christian system.
