Is there a principled distinction between suicide-bombing and falling on a grenade to save your squad?

@KevinSimler To give an earnest answer, the solider is acting to save lives, the terrorist to destroy lives.
@hamandcheese Yeah, my bad. My follow-up Q also asked to distinguish suicide bombing from volunteering for war. A: targeting civilians?

@KevinSimler Suicide bombing is specifically a kind of kamikaze strategy. Commanders try to keep their soldiers alive when possible. -
@hamandcheese "When possible" seems pretty weak. Generals often send units on what are effectively suicide missions. - 6 more replies
