WWII was a dark period in Japan's history for many reasons. As the war dragged on, it became clear that the Eastern power was not going to win the conflict, and measures became more desperate. During this time the "kamikaze" spirit and war philosophy began to evolve in morbid ways. Thousands of young men were conscripted for the sole purpose of directing vehicles and weapons into military targets, causing severe damage, but also losing their lives in the process. Kamikaze pilots have become a famous notion in the Western world, but these soldiers also piloted submarines, carried explosives on foot, and died by other means. The issue can be considered in different ways, but the truth about Japan's kamikaze pilots is pretty grim.
