Japanese women did it at Saipan
They had been thoroughly brainwashed that we Americans would rape them to death in the most abominable manner possible. I don't hold them morally accountable for their actions. The people who brainwashed them were absolute, immoral monsters.
No, the “it” is radically different in the two cases.

In the WWII cases, it was suicidal parents who had been led to believe there was no future for any of them and the intention is for all of them to die.
Not off a wall and not without jumping with them. It was into rocks and higher than 18 feet You need a shrink to compare this with that. Asshole.
Yeah, but they weren’t jumping off walls into the US. They were jumping off cliffs into the ocean to kill themselves. My late father-in-law was there with the 4th. Marines. He saw it.
