Who the fuck was he fighting for 29 years?

Who the fuck was he getting orders from?

I call bullshit!

I know this story, he was told by his commanding officer "Never surrender, if caught commit suicide" so he lived in the woods for 29 years after WWII and it was all over the news and they sent out his brother to find him and bring him home by driving around forests with a microphone yelling the war is over and to please come home. His name was Lt. Hiroo Onoda

And to believe the war was over he asked for his original commanding officer to come and tell him the war was over, and they did that and he believed him.

He wasn't getting orders.
He was posted in a really remote island in the south pacific.
He wasn't really doing much, just camping in his bunker and raiding the local village for food. when they finally dicovered him, he refused to believe that Japan would ever surrender, and had to have a bunch of his old friends come and convince him that the war really was over.

Basically he shot at civilians or threw rocks at them (I can't imagine where he'd get 29 years of ammunition). They (the US/Japan) had to get his old general to come in and say that the war was over.
