Army.ca's Fallen Comrades

If they (the young pilots) are on land, they would be bombed down, and if they are in the air, they would be shot down. That's sad...Too sad...To let the young men die beautifully, that's what Tokko is. To give beautiful death, that's called sympathy.

- Admiral Takijiro Onishi (Note: Tokko means suicidal attack in Japanese)
