Answer 1

Nothing to live for and ready to die. There's always room for Jello.

Answer 2

Nothing unusual as it is happening even more today. These people have been indoctrinated by their evil elders into believing that they will be martyrs and go someplace full of vestal virgins. As these gullible men are young they do eventually believe it .Who said that Islam was a peacefully religion ? In W W 2 the Japs had a similar way of finding suicide bombers to kill themselves in the name of the Emperor

Answer 3

Death was not an objective of these guys as it isn't the objective of soldiers who die in Iraq. To kill or hold back the enemy was the objective, death was the byproduct. I guess you could say that in doing your job you were surely to become collateral damage.

In WW1 when an officer sent his men to attack the enemy knowing that 50% or most of them would probably die, does that mean the officer was the murderer of his own men? No, he was trying to fullfil the objective.

I'm totally against the idea that Kamikazis were out to kill themselves. Killing themselves was not an objective it was a certain byproduct.


A person who kills himself in his room alone is commiting suicide because he wants to die.

There are philosophy course on this subject.

Answer 4

It was a kind of perversion of the Samurai code of Bushido. A Samurai, which many Japanese fighters considered themselves, is willing to give his life for his country; and in the old days, he was expected to kill himself rather than be dishonored.
The WWII Japanese military had carried this to such an extreme that to lose the war, to surrender in the face of defeat, was such a dishonor that suicide was preferable. The kamikaze flights were carried out on the principle that it was impossible to surrender, and that if death was inevitable, they would kill as many of the enemy as they could at the same time.
Even after Japan surrendered, many Japanese soldiers committed ritual suicide, and many officers killed their men (even those who wanted to live) in order to avoid their idea of dishonor.

Answer 5

To the first guy...it really is seventy 2 virgins. What many brainwashed individuals do not comprehend is that those 'muslim extremists' as they are commonly said as trust that the united statesA. is an important element in causing grief between guy and God. they trust that the U.S. as a rustic tries to regulate nature, and tries to regulate the international in a lot of ideas. of their eyes that is the U.S. getting interior the way of the choose of God. 'in basic terms pay interest to the song, babe' is strictly perfect, maximum trust they are doing something good for the international, and for God.

Answer 6

In some cultures, even nowadays, boys are raised and brainwashed to believe in dieing for a cause and to die for that cause is a glorious death. Same with the guys who flew into the twin towers.

Answer 7

An act of desperation in total warfare when your country is about to be invaded by the enemy. You got nothing to lose.
