The individual Japanese who decided to promote suicide attacks were not the same Japanese who carried them out, for the most part. When you study the Japanese tactics at Guadalcanal, and elsewhere in the Pacific, they were little different that suicide attacks. It was their hope that the Americans would become discouraged and leaved. Worked in Iraq, and it’s working in Afghanistan.

I'm the son of a WWII Marine and a former Marine, VN vet. I know all about the Pacific.
The Japanese soldiers fought under the code of Bushido, not the same as the suicide pact sworn to by the Divine Wind pilots.
Japanese Army didn't fight a war to "discourage" the US from staying in. They fought a war to defeat the US, as did their Axis allies. Period.

Same as with islamic clerics who live long lives while they send the younger generations out to do their dirty work.

Vince’s gun magically changed color from the one Mrs. Foster said he had to the one he had his thumb in at the end. Magic bullets, magic guns and now magic elections.
