Реферат: Who became kamikazee

Japan were mentioned.[38] It is a certainty that this course was one factor in making

the pilots feel "happy and proud" to be involved in the Kamikaze attacks.

The military education was quickly absorbed by these young pilots-to-be. It was in

October 1943 that the young boy had entered the Training School. By the next

February, he had written a short poem saying that a Japanese man should be praised

when he dies as he should for the Emperor.[39]

The amount of time students spent in the Youth Pilot Training School was reduced from

three years to less than two years for the 15th term students. Therefore, the schedule

was tight and tough.[40] There was almost no holiday at all, and many of the planned

holidays were canceled.[41] What Corporal Araki called a "holiday" was very much

different from what is normally considered a holiday. An example of his holiday started

with some sort of ceremony, followed by listening and learning new songs (probably of

war), and watching a movie. Something related to the military was taught even on days

called "holidays."[42] Therefore, they were given no time to "think." There was

something to do almost every minute that they were awake, and they were taught what

the right spirit was. By not giving them time to think, they had no time to evaluate what

they were being taught. They just absorbed it, and as a result, by the time they

graduated, they were brainwashed.

Corporal Araki had an older brother and three younger brothers. In his will to his

parents, he mentioned that he wished two of his younger brothers to also enter the

military; one should enter the Navy and become an officer, the other to enter the Army

and also become an officer. He also mentions that he wishes that his brothers follow his

path (and be involved in the Kamikaze attacks).[43]

Mr. S. Araki, Corporal Araki's older brother, mentioned that his brother had greatly

changed after entering the military school. He remembers that his brother's attitude

towards him was not casual, and it was not like he was talking to a brother. He felt that

he had really grown up since he had seen him last, both physically and

psychologically.[44]

There are three references in which Corporal Araki's thoughts towards the mission may
