    Interesting fact:
    When Tadanao Miki, the designer of the Ohka, was ordered by his superiors to design the Ohka, he strongly objected, saying, ``It would be an affront to technology to create an airplane in which the pilot would definitely die.'' However, his superiors and subordinates could not refuse this request. In his diary after the war, he wrote, ``My heart hurts every time I think about it.'' After the war, Tadanao Miki joined Japan National Railways, saying, ``I want to use technology for peace this time,'' and in 1964, he designed the world's first high-speed railway, the Shinkansen 0 series. Thorough weight reduction and a shape with low air resistance were exactly the techniques cultivated in Ohka's design. Tadanao Miki designed many other railway cars and passed away in 2005 at the age of 95.

      I just read on another video about the Oka that the designer was somebody else, and he was ashamed changed his name after the war and ended up dying of cancer.
      The relevant part of the comment is as follow,
      “…even as a Japanese person, I am impressed. If there's one thing I'd like to tell you, it's that Shoichi Ota, who invented Ouka, boarded an airplane without permission and took off on the day Japan was defeated in the war. Everyone thought that he committed suicide, taking responsibility for losing the war after developing Ouka, but many pilots died in battle, but he was still alive. According to Japanese historians, the plane he was on crash-landed in waters far from land, and he was rescued by a fishing boat. Having failed in his suicide attempt, he abandoned the name
      "Shoichi Ota" and also abandoned his wife and child, whom he had married during the war.
      Therefore, many people thought that Shoichi Ota was dead. After the war, he gave himself a false name, changed his job many times, and no ID was created, so he couldn't go to the hospital even if he got sick, and in the end, he suffered from cancer and died.”

    As an American, who had multiple family memebers fight in the war, a few in the Pacific, this gave me a new respect for the Japanese soldiers they fought against. We don't get a whole lot of media portraying them as honorable, respectable, and selfless. Great video. May we never have to fight another war like that ever again. We need to find a way to coexist on this planet. I hope we find life out in the galaxy somewhere soon. I think that will be the thing that will finally unite us as a species.

      Unfortunately, war is no sporting contest.
      War is killing the enemy to win the war by whatever means.
      Call General Patton a cynic,
      but he was right :
      One doesn’t win a war by dying
      for one’s own side.
      One wins a war by making One’s enemy die for his own side.

    I had a late friend, who was a WWII Navy veteran. He told me that he was a Navy SeaBee, who boarded the USS Mannert Abele at San Diego to hitch a ride to Pearl Harbor. On board, he made several friends among the crew, and they all traded home addresses and promised to get in touch with each other after the War was over. Once arrived at Pearl Harbor, he got off and the Mannert Abele later continued on her voyage to her assigned Pacific area. He later joined his unit and boarded a transport ship to Saipan for his duty assignment. Months later, he learned of the loss of the Mannert Abele and cried, thinking about his new friends aboard her. After the War was over, he tried to contact his new friends, but unfortunately, he later learned they were all lost in the sinking. As he was a skillful and avid scratch model ship builder, he built a beautiful 1/48 scale model of the USS Mannert Abele displayed in his home as a memorial to his lost friends. He also built a 1/48 scale model of the Ohka and displayed it alongside the destroyer as well. Rest in peace, George Kariantanos. Thank you for your story and service. 🇺🇸

      Most of these pilots were young people who were drafted around 43,44 and 45. in fact most kamikaze pilots were university students, if memory calls correctly, that's what I mean by innocent. These pilots were not barbaric war criminals, hell you could even say most of the Japanese pilots weren't either, they were just people and specifically the kamikaze's were innocent people, they didn't start the war, fought the war with false patriotic superiority complex in mind, they were innocent people who just wanted to protect their home and family.

The kamikaze program started in 1944, unbeknownst to most the Japanese pilots of the day didn't want to kill themselves untill 1944 when it was believed desperate time call for desperate measures. My Dad was a U.S. Marine in WWII, serving as a 60 mm mortarman in the second Marine division. He stayed in the corps after the war and fought in north Korea as a 81mm mortarman at the chosen reservoir.

    On May 3, 1945, the U.S.S. Aaron Ward DM34, a destroyer on picket duty north of Okinawa engaged with numerous kamikazes. The ship suffered six strikes from aircraft variously described as Vals and Zeroes. Among the strikes were two partial hits from debris of aircraft struck by anti-aircraft fire, two glancing blows one of which took off part of the forward stack, and two direct. The ship was seriously damaged but did not sink. My father was a Chief Machinest Mate aboard her and survived uninjured while over 30 crewmates didn't.

      It is an American psychological tactic to eliminate the moral aspect in the public and frame it as an unfortunate event rather than a heroic act.

    If you think about it, anyone that joins the military is essentially signing their potential death warrant. Some make it and some do not. It is the heart of a Patriot.

      I voluntarily joined the military to defend our nation even if it would cost me my life. But, I didn't volunteer to die. That's the difference. Obviously, it is a profession that could cost someone their life, but then so is being a firefighter or a police officer.
