WWII Suicide Bombers? Toltec explains.

A humorous, yet fascinating and serious look at the title courtesy of Toltec. It's his article from his blog @ http://historyplanet.wordpress.com/ As humor aside, do the examples meet the qualifications or the rationale behind their later modern examples (or even earlier). And are they synonymous with the Islamic fundamentalist or any other viewpoints of combatants, regular or irregular, of any era for that matter (The IRA for example or Badder Meinhof... Japanese Banzai charges etc). And as a layman once said....''to do what it takes''?
