There's a beautiful satire in the New Yorker titled "BUSHIDO:THE WAY OF THE ARMCHAIR WARRIOR" by Evan Eisenberg. Here's an excerpt:

The armchair warrior feels in his hara, or gut, what ought to be done. He is like a warhorse that races into battle, pulling behind him the chariot of logic and evidence. When the people see the magnificent heedlessness of his charge, they cannot help but be carried along."
