    You can see clearly the muzzles of the enemy's guns.
    You feel that you are suddenly floating in the air.
    At that moment, you see your mother's face.
    She is not smiling or crying.
    It is her usual face.
    [...]
    Then you are no more."

    Contrary to popular belief, Kamikazes had a tank loaded with fuel for 2-way trips because there was the very real chance a Kamikaze might get lost and find nothing but ocean or be wasted in a storm. It was ok for kamikazes to return to base if they couldn't find a target; Japan was low on pilots of all kinds, including Kamikazes, and had no wish to waste them fruitlessly crashing into the ocean. Thus you would be alright if you returned in a kamikaze, provided you had a good explanation, as was historically done. Return 11 times, as one fella did, and you'll be shot for cowardice though.

      There was also a guy called Sasaki Tomoji. Being the leader of a Ki-48 bomber squadron, he got away from 9 kamikaze sorties, based on the belief that "instead of kamikaze I shall just deliver bombs over and over again". His superiors were so pissed that they were deliberately trying to get him killed at some point, yet he always managed to return and lived a very long life after the war.
      In most cases, if you managed to survive a kamikaze sortie you'd just get peer pressured into doing it again and doing it for sure, but you can always chicken out again if you're shameless enough...

      I think it's insulting to use the battle of the bulge over North Africa. Battery 155 at Sidi Nisir. Since the premise is the same. Though bulge does have a more hopeless feeling to it. Rather than brits singing said song in defiance at point blank range with Arty guns

      @@joelthorstensson2772 People did starve in those places, far more frequently than they did elsewhere. It's also so much more than just starvation. It's that you become the slave of the state and they decide whether or not you will be allowed to eat. If I starve because of my own poor decisions, so be it. I won't starve because the state can't manage their way out of a paper bag, or worse, they decide I should starve because of some reason they have conjured up in their minds.
      I'll take free-markets over either Capitalism or Socialism. But to say that because all systems have some flaws that they are equal in their issues is a completely false equivalency. The only reason you can enjoy your Swedish welfare is because you are between the stages of collapse for it. Sweden tried it once already, only for it all to collapse after the massive treasure it built up after WWII ran out. Your rapid influx of extremely hostile mass immigration is only going to speed up the inevitable now.
