1) that’s the sort of thing that gets you run off of social media.
2) I went to a fascinating talk the other week that showed that the Germans and Russians both used tactics essentially the same as the kamikaze pilots and in similar volumes. The only difference was the propaganda. And survival rates for kamikaze pilots weren’t much worse than those for flight crews in the bombing raids over Germany (and the commanders launching those raids knew this).
