Yes, that's true. They believed in the Bushido Code, something dating back to the Samaries (don't know if that's how you spell it). They did believe that dieing for their emperor was more honorable than surrendering, so sometimes they would rather kill themselves. One way that they committed suicide was to pull the pin on the Type 99 grenade and to hold it against their helmet when American troops would approach them. That way, they would kill both themselves and the enemy.
The imperial family tried to convince them that the suicide, and taking the enemy with them, was in the bushido code. Well its not, its just a crazy attempt of making them explode to kill they´re enemy, nasty idea.
The imperial family tryed to convince the soldiers to suicide themselves, using the "bushido" esxcuse for them to be willing to kill themselves and the enemy, in kamikaze ambushes or atacks.
Its sad and stupid, but at the time, soldiers were blind, i mean, i am sure they wren´t, but what could they do? there is nothing on the bushido code, saying suicide along with the enemy is correct, it doesn´t exist.

USA put 5 nuclear bombs in Japan but only 3 exploid...your govermanet is crazy, if they have all exploid it gonna be the end of japan for sure and china and austraulia would sufer some damage.
Really? So you think we should run around the world killing innocent people who have never threatened or attacked us? If one person does that to another person, isn't that called murder? If Ron Paul doesn't get in I will guarantee you that you will live under the cruelest dictatorship the the world has ever known. Read it and weep.
that's sad, war is the real hell

Nope, no bushido there.
The imperial family tryed to convince the soldiers to suicide themselves, using the "bushido" esxcuse for them to be willing to kill themselves and the enemy, in kamikaze ambushes or atacks.

There was only two dropped. YOU do some research.
There would have been 8 more dropped during operation Downfall if the Japs didn't surrender.
