Ummm

If they were instructed to crash into ships at Pearl Harbor they would have lost more than 29 planes.

The Japanese military became increasingly desperate to find ways of slowing the Allied advance, naval officer Ensign Mitsuo Ohta conceived a specialized suicide attack aircraft that would be inexpensive, easy to manufacture in large numbers, and equipped for high speed to avoid being shot down.

Once the concept had been accepted, Yokosuka began developing the MXY7 Ohka (cherry blossom), a small, rocket-powered vehicle mounting a large warhead in the nose and intended to be carried to the target area by a Mitsubishi G4M2e "Betty" bomber. After being released, the Ohka would engage its rocket motors to make a high-speed dash to the target ship. Flight testing began in late 1944, but production of the Navy Suicide Attacker Ohka Model 11 began even before these tests were complete.

We didn't need torture tactics in WWII, when a large group of nations was actually about to take out Europe and most of the S. Pacific....

but we need them now, huh?  ;)

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TACTICS WERE USED IN WWII.  that was in a time when we allowed our military to do their jobs.
