The Kamikaze: Peer Pressured Suicide Bombers
Added 2019-09-13 20:18:55 +0000 UTCA popular misconception is that the Japanese Kamikaze of World War II were fanatical volunteers who willingly blew themselves up for their Emperor.
The truth is much worse.

this episode lends a much darker undertone to the meme "shinji, get in the robot"

We head to Nara from Tokyo tomorrow. We both have a healthy contempt for what the powerful will order us to do. Her from her Japanese perspective and I as an American. In her memory they didn't go deep into the topic of Kamikaze in her public schooling although they did cover it.
