Is the spirit of Japanese Bushido necessarily related to its militarism?

The original intention of Bushido is good, but it was distorted and used by the Japanese war faction during World War II. Bushido spirit and Shinto teach soldiers to brainwash and turn them into war machines that are absolutely loyal to the emperor. Shintoism has also been distorted and become a tool of militarism. I don't quite understand the second question of LZ. Can you explain it in detail? The predecessor of Bushido is said to be China's Confucianism, which originated in the Kamakura shogunate era. Bushido spirit emphasizes the creed of "righteousness, courage, benevolence, courtesy, honesty, reputation and loyalty" from the beginning. Bushido spirit makes people understand etiquette loyalty and strictly abide by it, and it is also a means for the master to restrain the samurai. Moreover, the bushido spirit will lead to serious consequences. A samurai will have two extreme personalities and will do it for his master. These are the drawbacks of Bushido spirit. Generally speaking, Bushido spirit has two sides. It can make people understand loyalty, etiquette and honesty, but it can also lead to cruelty. Thank you for your adoption ~ 、
