Nietzsche is not around to resolve this issue (like the falling tree making a sound in an empty forest). I contend that the very last one did not practice seppuku, by definition. Killing yourself because you are captured is not very good. If John McCain had done that, who would we have to look up to now? Our American Code of Conduct requires that anyone captured by the enemy must make every effort to escape and otherwise interfere with the continued existence of that enemy, not to commit suicide or practice seppuku. Therefore, I must say that Seppuku is for Sissies!
