Here's a link to a filmclip which graphically illustrates the depth of Japanese fanaticism in WWII (WARNING: graphic violence) : http://www.ww2incolor.com/gallery/movies/jap_grenade

In this clip, a Japanese kamikaze pilot somehow survives, and rather than being taken prisoner, blows himself up in the water. [X(]

Wow, that is pretty intense. [X(]

EDIT: I was thinking, that it was lucky for our guys on that ship that the pilot did not wait until they picked him up to detonate his grenade in an attempt to take a few sailors with him. I suppose his humiliation/shame at missing his target, surviving, and his prospect of capture overwhelmed his ability to think in a tactical manner. Lucky for us...
