Until we spanked it out of them. Honestly, so very many of them died due to their ridiculous notions that "to die is far better than to surrender", and this attitude resulted in them never taking our people prisoner. When we finally deployed the most powerful thing anyone had ever seen, they realized their previous twisted values had failed them. Sure, they are loosing their old Bushido code (not that there's been much around for the last few generations I think), but that's a GOOD thing because those values are wrong, and it was proven during WW2 that they only resulted in horribile tragedy. So they are loosing a big part of their old culture, good riddance!
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
