Japan did not NEED Kamikaze Pilots and the strategy of the Kamikaze was a doomed strategy from the onset because it took more to train the pilots than they actually flew and most impacts were not severe enough to perform the task they were supposed to perform. Japan chose to implement the Kamikaze Pilot as a strategy in the hopes of severely crippling American Aircraft Carriers and other American Warships in the Pacific.
