>A lot of Westerners looked at the kamikaze strategy with complete shock, the idea of putting a kid in a plane and telling him to kill himself by crashing into the enemy. But even if you don't tell him to crash into something, putting a kid with only about 20 hours flight time into a plane and telling him to take on U.S. pilots in Hellcats and Corsairs is just as much a suicidal tactic as being a kamikaze. We figured that if they're going to die anyway, the kamikaze attack will probably cause more damage to the enemy for the same price in lives.
Kamikaze attacks created the backbone of everything we know about how to defend a carrier, it often goes understated how difficult naval aviation is to effectively pull off and how much experience matters and no other navy on earth has more experience than the Burgermutts do at fending off what are effectively missile strikes
