My point though still stands about the ammunition being less likely to run out than fuel. Also it raises the question of target identification and who takes the blame if the target is not a legimate one. It is a bad idea all round and the Officer in charge should be sanctioned over it. This is something that would really drastically hit RAF recruitment as most pilots are there to fly and as they say why send a pilot where you can send a missile or a bullet? These pilots are highly trained, and it is a different situation from Japan where Japan was actively beseiged and has had a hero culture of the sacrificial hero since ancient times. Therefore drawing parrallels between the Kamikazes and the current well-trained RAF pilots is ridiculous. In additional Kamikaze pilots were not trained as well I thought since the whole idea is that they would die in carrying out their attacks...
