I hope we don’t feel obliged to use your methods, and if we do I hope they work. But I’m not optimistic.
The Japanese kamidazes were not suicidal in the same sense as the suicide bombers. The kamikazes were simply using the only method they had left to fight back in the defense of their homeland. Suicide was a side-effect, not the purpose of the exercise, as it is for the Islamists.
Admittedly, many Japanese killed themselves rather than surrender, but that was out of what we would consider a perverted sense of honor, shame that they had failed in their defense of the Emperor.
On that we can agree. I'm not optimistic about our leaders following that approach either. I fear our nation has lost much of its will to survive at any cost. That may likely lead to our undoing. Thanks for the discourse. I enjoyed it.
