The most democratic way to do this is by universal military training, in which every able-bodied young man is fitted to discharge his particular duty to protect our freedom. Asked if he believes there is any chance of a lasting peace, the general emphatically answers. Mr. Kongsman, if I didn't think of the chance of that, I wouldn't be here. I would jump out of my plane in the middle of the Atlantic. If the world has got to face the certainty of war, then I think it's high time the civilization was calling it a day. Now the actual fact is that I believe this to be the greatest move that United States can make in the direction of preserving the peace. I will tell you a conviction of which I'm perfectly certain.

And then we saw them pour gasoline all over that barricade and we smelled the smell of gasoline right over us two in the building.

These Japanese were out facing us with their guns pointed at us. Naturally, with 1,500 people there approximately, there was a big commotion. Women and the kids lost their heads. They started screaming. Yelling, Tomadachi, Tomadachi. What does that mean? Friends. We are friends. We tried to explain we were friends. We were not enemies. We were non-combatants. We were civilians. And then when we saw what was coming to us, somebody, I can't remember now who decided, that maybe we could move them by having the women. So many of them had small kids who were still suckling them. Go out and show them. Naturally, the women volunteered with their little kids, those who had small kids in their arms, to go out.

Whatever the verdict, Yamashita faces justice under international law.
