"Kamikaze duty was not a sentencing but a sought gift like the Islamic suicide bombers to earn their prize in the afterlife."

This is simply not true and is a product of stereotyping the Japanese to make it more palatable in turning civilians into ashes. Reading any journal entry, family reactions, or just listening to family who lost their family members will show that most of them are devastated by their loss, and the "justification" that they're dying for their country is merely an explanation, not an excuse for their choice.

You seem to be confused because the civilian population had no political power or ideas about what the militarist government was doing, let alone the civilian government who wasn't even able to control the militarist "government" (practically operation side by side)

So your assertion that the civilian populace was "for" the government is no better than saying all northerners were anti-state rights during the civil war and all southerners were racists, or that Koreans were inherently cruel because of what the North Koreans did to US GI's or South Koreans.

Its usually just the times.

As further evidence of Japanese civilians being extremely obedient in the entire other direction, you can see exactly zero incidents of violent terrorist acts after the US occupation. One incident of an officer slapping an American officer, I believe.

While the Japanese were very collective oriented (and still are), that doesn't mean Americans can't be, after all we celebrate the movie Independence Day for the guy at the end literally kamikaze-ing his plane into the gigantic unstoppable enemy for the betterment for the people he loveed.

Anyway, not saying you're wrong, just saying that "kamikaze" being a gift is an empty of a statement as saying "Its an honor to serve in the US military".

Uhhh... yeah, in general, or in theory, but reality is not that simple. I would know, I served in it. No regrets, for christ sake, its not that simple.
