off topic, but I just watched your 'cooking' episode. Please check out https://www.youtube.com/user/jastownsendandson when you get a chance. Might even work in a collaboration video next time you're in the states. :)

"Deciphering the Rising Sun" mentions 2 separate groups groups of "Kamikaze survivors" who were fished out of the water around Okinawa. They were certainly rare (probably less than two dozen total), but enough to be notable (and more than the total prisoner count from some of the early island fights).

I'd be interested to hear your extended thinking about the relative decisions made by Admirals Scott and Callahan, in light of your discussion this week about when you choose to be very critical of an admiral. As a related question, what's your opinion about Captain Bode's (Of USS Chicago) actions at First Savo Island being put before a Court Martial? I have my own opinions about all three commanders, but would love to get your insight on them.
As always, thank you for your work with this channel.
