by the way. whats the relevance of this picture to the current situation? Its the last time the US successfully dealt with suicide attacks

40mm guns of the USS HORNET fire at Japanese suicide dive bombers, the Kamikazes, as the carrier's own planes were raiding Tokyo, February 16, 1945. By the end of the war, Japan will have sent an estimated 2,257 Kamikazes. "The only weapon I feared in the war," Admiral Halsey said.

I can't tell you how many people have told me this war is different because we're facing an enemy that doesn't care whether they live or die. Then I naturally ask, "What about the kamikazes?". Again blank stares.
