RE :”The Japanese had stockpiled one and two-man Suicide Boats laden with high explosives on Kerama Retto Island.. Hundreds of them. They were going to use these to ram American landing craft and transports. They would be crewed with troops, Rikusentai (Special Naval Landing Forces), and civilians.”

Yes but I don't think our soldiers today risk their lives trying to capture alive suicide bombers in action when they come across them, nor are they told to, I bet the standing orders are already to kill them on the spot.

Hell, look at all the unarmed Americans police kill here and get cleared for.

“...Yes but I don’t think our soldiers today risk their lives trying to capture alive suicide bombers in action...”

My point is, fanaticism with a uniform on, or without a uniform is STILL fanaticism. And in THIS war, you don’t know exactly when the suicide bomber is going to walk through the shopping mall doors, or drive his truck or car into the city center and detonate it.
