> I assume it means something like suicide mission in Japanese. Japanese > used "kakikaze" pilots during WWII to attack US ships. Suicide missions > for pilots. It means "divine wind" in Japanese, originally referring to a hurricane that fortuitously destroyed the Mongolian Navy many centuries ago and saved Japan. In WWII it was the name of the suicide missions staged by specially trained pilots against U.S. ships in the Pacific. Since then, it's come into common currency to refer to any suicide mission in which the agent of the attack is killed in the attack. --Mike - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
