Speaking of honor, I was listening to my World War II lectures while cutting up vegetables earlier, and the lecturer mentioned the suicide of Saito and Nagumo on Saipan. The "cult of suicide," as he said, is really making a comeback these days. It makes me think we're regressing as a society.

One thing historians are loathe to do is frame WWII as a religious war.
