Idle Thoughts

Today while driving to work, for some reason I thought about suicide bombers. I have no idea why but it jumped into my head. But that quickly lead me to think about the Kamikaze pilots of world War II. Wouldn't you consider them to be suicide bombers? I thought about it for a while and came to the conclusion that they were the same. Fighting at all and any cost. Wow, the level of brain washing that it must take to tell someone to take their life for a cause that may not be their own. Incredible. But then I thought about the other side, consider the Kamikaze pilot who gave his life knowing that his family would be taken care of. Ironically enough the U.S. dropped 2 atomic bombs on Japan thus rendering the contract that the Kamikaze pilots agreed to useless. knowing this would they have still went through with it? I wonder. Oh and for the record George A. Custer was a Dumbass.
