Ghost Soldiers pt3

I have read pages 100 to 150 in Ghost Soldiers and I keep continue to get wrapped up in the book. The story continues to become more and more of an intense feel. As the American troops begin to realize and understand that capture is inevitable. They begin coming out of the jungle's deep cover to surrender themselves to the Japanese. The troops General Edward King, before uttering the words of surrender, met with Imperial Japanese Army to discuss terms of surrender. He hoped that the Imperial Army would be terms from the Geneva Convention, basically stating that Prisoner of war treatment should be humane. The Japanese Imperial's Army, Nakayama their leader, even though nice to General King, did not seem to be very acceptive of the terms of somewhat kindness. The interesting part was as King discussed terms of somewhat kindness. The interesting part was as King discussed terms, the troops waited for several days to hear the word. General King, while at the Imperials Army Camp, taught Nakayama how to use some of the weapons and how to drive some of the cars that the Japanese had found. General King is holding off the words of surrender because he doesn't want to say it, not knowing the future.
