Kat: SURPRISE! I agree with you! What a great way to say it!

Murray is viewing the world through a looking glass of his own.

I have done considerable research on WWII, and never have I encountered anything on the written page that suggests that the Japanese pilots were drugged. They flew to their glorious (to them) deaths for the love of the Emperor, and dedication to their country.

It appears to me Murray is attempting to revise a little history.
