one of the Worst kamikaze attack in WW II ( Okinawa )
Its amazing to think they could get through with that hail of gunfire. More amazing is the calm during explosions, from bombs or the kamikazi's themselves of loaders and shooters. They just stood there totally focused firing away regardless of the mayhem of war. Incredibly fearless individuals doing their job. Just wow, nice find 727
I have thought much the same as I've read and watched the documentaries.
They just stood there totally focused firing away regardless of the mayhem of war.
But then it dawned on me. Where else are they gonna go? On a ship, you either get the job done, or ya don't. Everyone on board fights to live so they can help their ship mates.
I have a lot of respect for the guys and gals that go to sea. That takes a special mindset (I think "Special" can be applied either way here at times. LOL)
The Bushido war machine has always amazed me in its' ability to turn ordinary people in to animals who could do what they did to Nanking and many other places around the world. An absolutely horrible war which all wars are but this one rates right up there on the evil scale as far as I am concerned. Thank goodness they were defeated.
