Why are the Japanese so disciplined?

Question:


I've just finished watching a movie about japan and I noticed their insane discipline. If a warrior didn't fight and die in war, then they must perform this suicide ceremony in which the warrior must stab himself with a dagger for honor. Why are they so disciplined until they so stupid? Wouldn't it just be better to escape somewhere you won't die?

Answer:


Seppuku went out in the mid 1800's..And it was mainly limited to samurai. Actually the man stabbed himself in the stomach with a short sword and then cut open his stomach in a certain matter. There was another man standing behind him with a long sword who then lopped off the guys head. Sort of a ' death before dishonor' thing, I guess.
