Were the Japanese kamikaze "suicide bombers"?
Too controversial for such an off-hand reference. Should be more than a subordinate clause. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 11:54, 5 April 2007 (EDT)

==Self-sacrifice and self-destruction==
Jumping on a grenade is not generally considered "suicide" but an act of self-sacrifice. However, storming a pill box has been described as a "suicidal charge".
Okay, let's get into it. Were the Japanese [[kamikaze]] "[[suicide bomber]]s"? Is strapping yourself with explosives, entering a crowded bus or restaurant and detonating them an "murder-suicide" or what? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 11:57, 5 April 2007 (EDT)
