Talk:Suicide Grunt

Two things: 1) Dont they throw them sometimes also? 2) I totally called them both those names without ever hearing them called that by anyone else. Freaky how we all think in one assembled mind...

No, they don't throw their grenades. Maybe you saw other Grunts chucking grenades at you while the Kamikaze Grunt was rushing you. And they do say "Kamikaze!" I've heard them. I couldn't believe it when one charged me on The Ark. I was standing on that first walkway, and the little bastard actually jumped up, climbed over and kept coming.

Grunts say 'kamikaze'? Why? That doesn't make any sense. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 21:57, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

They do that for the same reason Japanese pilots did in WWII: they're desperate (an "if I'm going down, I'm taking you with me" mentality). Considering the religious overtones, one could also draw parallels between Kamikaze Grunts and Muslim suicide bombers, but that makes less sense because they do it out of fanaticism and not despair.

I was more thinking, 'Why are Grunts speaking Japanese?' --Dragonclaws^(talk) 20:22, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
