For those who serve in the armed forces, learning about their history serves to both inspire and also to educate the current members of those forces.

(Akira, 1990, pp.133-134). Masaru (1990) added that another difficulty between the two nations was America's attitude during the U.S.-Japanese negotiations on the eve of the outbreak of war.
