Career prospect for kamikazes? get real. On a serious note, desperate times call for desperate measures: these were young lads whose country was facing an imminent defeat. They did a desperate bid to prevent that defeat. Sacrificing their life to create an intelligent missile out of their old obsolete aircraft. They had balls, one got to admit. Try to look at it this way: in the film "Independence Day" an American kamikaze pilot is the one who saved planet earth.

Is any soldier any different than a kamikaze pilot? Does it matter how or when you die,when in either case you are both DEAD! All soldiers and military are government issue GIs and therefore considered expendable just like any cannon fodder used by the military! All military are considered kamikaze pilots by the top brass! Suck it up and live with it!

Some people have referred to 'failed missions' by Kamikaze pilots. No one deliberately sent on a Kamikaze mission got a second chance. The aircraft used had no landing gear an rarely carried enough fuel for a return to base. I have heard rumors that they could be detonated by remote as well.

hehehe This is a funny question. Successful Kamikaze's had no career. 1 flight and they were dead, dying proudly for their country. Actually, unsuccessful Kamikaze's (missed their target) were the same. The ones who didn't make a mission needed more instruction/certifications before they could fly for a career.

The Kamikaze pilot who flew into battle were just bad pilots.
The good ones never made it through practice.
Seriously, they had an honour system that would not allow them to fail. It was their desire to save their country at all costs including their lives.
They would clip their nails before their mission so their loved ones would have something to bury

The Japanise empire will make sure that the family of the Kamikaze pilot will be rewarded and be given special status.

They would recieve a whole lot of honor, and that's all they ever wanted in life. To fight and die with honor. For their fathers, uncles, even their mothers, and especially their children, they could do no better in life than to be the best at what they do, not to advance to general, but to be the best soldier here and now and think of nothing else.

Don't know about career prospects, but after four unsuccessful missions they had to drop out.

He jests at scars who never felt a wound.
To use small words...They were willing to sacrifice their lives in a vain attempt to save their country .

I find it hard to believe that exactly everyone here but me did not get the sarcasm of your question, but tried to answer logically instead. That's unusual.
