Having just watched Letters from Iwo Jima, I am of two points of view as to
why Lieutenant Colonel Baron Takeichi Nishi took his Olympic gold medallist
show jumper to an island that was sure to experience fierce fighting. Either
it was a comment on a Japanese sense of assured win or a comment on animal
cruelty. In this same film there is a scene of a Japanese military police
ordering the shooting of a barking dog that he equated to showing
nationalistic disrespect. I know, it was also to show compassion from the
soldier who first tried to save the dog, and also showed the inhumanity of
the military police.

I know, this has nothing to do with web design, but I couldn't help thinking
it was dumb to take that horse to the island, even if for poetic license.
