Yes.
And there are revisionists now who claim that those men wouldn't have lived anyway.
And yet they were there.
All because of a very hard decision, and the rest is history.

I agree, Sam, the comparison of Kamikaze's to suicide bombers is bogus. Kamikaze's were military men who volunteered to die attacking military men on the other side.
The Pali bombers are civilian teenagers, many girls, who are pressured or brainwashed to kill non-military civilians, including women and children, while the so-called combatants hide out.
IMHO its the difference between killing in combat and murder. In our morally relativistic age some people don't understand the difference.

Hi GailA. What an adorable Uncle Sam Bear.

The only thing the 9-11 dirtbags had in common with the Japanese Kamikazes was the airplane. There can be no moral equivialent between the two.

Putting it in your gut is a lot different than the hole they call a brain, in your gut is something that is worth doing .
