Al-Qaeda eat your heart, no really...

A translation of the manuals that kamikaze pilots carried with them are now being made available in English. I don’t get it. How many girlfriends had to break your heart, or drunken parents beat you to get the point where entries like the following make sense:

At the very moment of impact: do your best. Every deity and the spirits of your dead comrades are watching you intently. Just before the collision it is essential that you do not shut your eyes for a moment so as not to miss the target. Many have crashed into the targets with wide-open eyes. They will tell you what fun they had.
