My Okinawan Sensei who at 17 yrs. old was in a Kamikaze training program in 1945 at the Battle of Okinawa. Fortunately the war ended before he was used. I asked him one time, so what was that all about? He said I was “crazy boy” back then.

The Japanese Army and Navy routinely provided methamphetamine to the Army keep fighting for a long periods of time and to their Kamikazi pilots.Maybe that partly explains his "crazy boy" quote.
