I recall reading that there was two senior japanese officers in the Navy (I think), and I can't remember their names, and at one point they were talking about if the war could be won (it's already kicked off by this point and they're loosing) and they basically had a coversation with body language (possibly a martial art thing?) where they said the war couldn't be won, but I can't remember who they were or what that non-verbal body language thing the Japanese had/have is called. Any ideas or am I just going bonkers and mis-remembering things.

Nah it was like they were speaking with a mix of body posture, saying things without saying them by discussing other things and the like. I think...AH HAH! FOUND IT!

The two years I was stationed in Japan I picked up on this. Nuance goes further in Japanese culture than in many others. Oddly I found their cousins the Koreans much more straight forward. Perhaps there was something behind that I did not see. I did not work with them daily.
