Career
Naoji Doi commanded the 32nd Naval Special Base Force,[1] a force of naval troops occupying the island of Mindanao during the course of World War II.[2]:622 When Lieutenant-General Gyosaku Morozumi left to command the IJA 35th Army, he left Naoji Doi to command his own force by himself.[1] When the United States Marines landed on Mindanao, they were aided by the regular and constable troops of the Philippine Commonwealth Army and Philippine Constabulary and pushed the Japanese back to the northern end of the island. Naoji Doi and his troops fought until the end of the war on August 15.
gollark: It's not really "motivated" as much as "don't hate it enough to go through the social awkwardness of going through the process of switching options", though.
gollark: I can't get motivated to exercise without being required to by school (since I picked "fitness" as one of my sports options), since it's one of those things I probably should do but don't like doing.
gollark: that moment when you actually do regular exercise at home(other people do, I mean)
gollark: I don't see myself doing that, since I basically only do exercisey things through a combination of being required(ish) to due to picking "fitness" as one of my sport options, some concern for my health, and the fact that it's in the sport-y environment at school and during a timeslot when there aren't really many other options.
gollark: My school's apparently planning for that too, by sending us... links to YouTube videos of HIIT routines they'll apparently ask us to do if school closes.
