Survivor shame

Article Abstract:

Kiichi Matsuura volunteered as a kamikaze pilot during the second world war, expecting to go on a mission which would kill him. As a result of technical difficulties, he survived, and has ever since felt guilty that he is still alive while many of his comrades perished. At the time, he felt that the war was justified and was proud to be fighting, but now believes that Japan should apologise for its actions during the war.
