This is very shocking news. Both of them are supposededly in their
eighties. The last time a leutenant was found was in 1974. Truly,

This article says that there's a possibility that they knew the war was
over but chose to stay in the Philippines rather than go back to Japan.
It's possible; some American troops who after Vietnam found it
impossible to handle civilian life went to live in the jungles of

try tonight.
