Q Please read the excerpt on the following link... We Shall Plunge into Enemy Ships It describes the feelings and ideas of Heiichi Okabe, a member of the Kamikaze Special Attack Corps, who was trained in suicide bombing attacks. Answer the following questions: 1) How do you explain Okabe's thoughts as expressed in this excerpt? How does he believe his "duty" will benefit Japan? 2) Do you agree with his statement that he is "just a human being" and neither a hero nor a fool? Explain. 3) Today, we see suicide attacks often. Even Buddhist Monks, who don't hurt others, burn themselves in protest, believing their deaths strengthen their cause against China. Do you think suicide attacks work? Do you think it's possible to weaken this kind of radical- often nationalistic- thought? Give an example of a specific area(s), today. Remember to respond to at least two other students.
