Attached is an article given to me by a friend. It discusses the current
trend in Japan among the nationalists to glorify the kamikaze program.
It is an interesting article in light of the fact that a Japanese TV crew recently
interviewed Glen Radder and me. One of the questions asked was our opinion
if the kamikaze program was effective. We both answered in the negative.
After the conclusion of the interview, the interpreter told us this particular producer
was one of the few men in the TV industry that did not agree with the current
movement in Japan to glorify those who participated in the program.
It should be an interesting presentation. I have been promised a copy
of the program after it airs in Japan sometime in October or November.
