    listening to the latest hardcore history claim is that the kamikaze program tried to recruit volunteers from the most hardcore soldiers and got literally zero to stand up so they just forced the nerds to fly planes into ships

        Branching from this topic. Hell to Pay by DM Giangreco goes into detail on the plans on both sides for the invasion of Japan. Talks about plans for mass kamikaze attacks on troop carriers.

        Fascinating - it's common to talk about how expensive a ground invasion would have been, but I've never seen much on what the actual defense plans were.

        IIRC they also riveted the cockpits shut so the pilots couldn’t bail out or ditch.

        This is kind of untrue. The whole thing started because they saw IJN pilots chose to ram US ships instead of crash into the sea. From what I've read, they never even bothered to try experienced pilots (not that they had many left) & started with recruits under Col. Asaichi Tamai.

        I think this is mostly correct, but by the Iwo Jima/Okinawa phase they were sending nearly anybody. They even tried to send Saburo Sakai!

        find it endlessly amusing that the japs crushed the samurai and everything they stood for, to then - only a generation or so later - psyop the plebs into believing bushido was their birthright

        My dad met an old Japanese solider once. He said that the young men were raring to go and fly those planes. But the older men kept finding excuses to put it off - for years.
