Suicide plane
Comparing a kamikaze attack to duck hunting is just hilarious. I bet he was happy to get back to his duck blind after the war.
This is like a private soldier being told hey you put this bomb suit on and run to the front lines and dont stop till you get there lol. Worst than the blacks forced in ww2 korean war vietnam war. To walk side by side with other blacks and use themselves aka there bodies to clear minefields.
This is remarkable
In all seriousness, the amount of courage it took to go up in one of those planes knowing you'd never make it back is astounding

Anyone can be forgiven and saved if repents and believes in Lord Jesus <- good to know
my favourite anime " wado warudo secondo"
I have been to one of the ships that a kamikaze plane hitted
Yea , people how droped two nukes are saying " inhuman warfare" 🤨
Remember if you dont have any bullets, be the bulet
Hol up! Wait a minute, why don't they just eject theyreself before the plane crashed than stay in the plane like a snail that going to get crushed by a car
🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸
