You made sense up to the last sentence. Japanese used Kami Kazi pilots during WW2. So, purposely flying planes into objects would be doing "it" if that was the mission. I'll wait for another opinion because my question still wasn't answered. Is it within the military's legal rights to plan suicide missions for soldiers? And, I'll even add this. Would the U.S. ever resort to Kami Kazi type tactics in war?

Special Ops is hypothetical danger. That's exactly what I WASN'T referring to.

hmm
