Sure, but it turns out that the Japanese military, like ours, conscripted a lot of people who were not Bushido samurai and who would have been just as happy to be fishing off Osaka, or something. This business of turning the average Japanese soldier into a mythic warrior is the sort of thing that propaganda does.
