    the current Japanese Army (Self Defense Force) is not running Bataan Death marches nor bayoneting kids in Chunking. It's all good now, for them, in the present. Are you trying to lay some old testament style "Sins of the Father visited upon the sons to the third generation" morality here?

    In a world where Kumbaya has not yet happened, (such as OoTS world and our own world) among nations and/or groups with powerful group identity, state secrets are frequently a necessity. If we consider the wisdom of Sun Tzu "to defeat the enemy's plan is to defeat the enemy" the ability to mask or conceal some of your plan, or grand strategy, is a necessity for survival in a dog eat dog world. At the moment, OoTS-world has some of that character. O'Chul, being pragmatic, grasps that. Likewise, being pragmatic, he's not likely to become distracted from his sense of duty by someone's notion of romance.
