I disagree with this and I know miltary people who would agree with me.

The reason I am posting this that several weeks ago [I've been travelling]
I read an article in the SJ Mercury News which original came of the
LA TIMES about a Japanese woman who took her two kids into the sea in an
act of suicide.  The kids died but the woman lives to face a murder trial.
The defense and the question raise by the article was cultural differences
where the act bordered on an acceptable but unspeakable practice.  I was
wondering if there was an outcome to the trial, if the woman was found
guilt of murder, and so forth.
