  1. Per Wikipedia:  "Even after Iwo Jima was declared secured, about three thousand Japanese soldiers were left alive in the island's warren of caves and tunnels. Those who could not bring themselves to commit suicide hid in the caves during the day and came out at night to prowl for provisions. Some did eventually surrender and were surprised that the Americans often received them with compassion, offering water, cigarettes, or coffee.[8] The last of these stragglers, two of Lieutenant Toshihiko Ohno's men, Yamakage Kufuku and Matsudo Linsoki, lasted six years, surrendering in 1951[9] (another source gives the date of surrender as January 6, 1949).[10]"

    By now they would be in their 80's and are either dead or living in Japan.

    By the way, the term "j**s" is considered offensive, but you probably already know that. Perhaps you should stop using that term.
