Meanwhile WW2 American doctrine be like:

I've been trying to learn more about the Pacific Campaign lately, as it normally just gets glossed over and towards the end of the war, the Top Brass in Japan became…miffed? Frustrated? Disappointed by suicide?

It's a bit hard to find the right words, but basically, the reaction became:

"Oh for fucks sake lads! Can you stop blowing yourselves up and running screaming into machine gun fire for five fucking minutes!?"

"We would be doing much better if you fought with an ounce of common sense and self-preservation, Jesus Christ ."

"If you bloody morons keep this up, we are going to run out of rifles; although it doesn't look like you fuckers are using them in the first place!"

It's so odd reading about the Japanese side of things, because no one talked to each other.

It's not like the Germans who discussed how bad things were going, but kept up a positive public PR campaign.

When the Japanese cocked up, no one would tell the higher officers for weeks.

The higher officers then wouldn't tell the government for a further couple of weeks, and they wouldn't even tell them the whole story.

Then the Emperor would be told what happened a week or so after that.

And then maybe someone would pass a response back down.

Maybe.

If you were lucky, you'd have a few people who knew the truth about the situation; but they would keep silent to save face.
