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

@KevinSimler this makes the grenade-dive quite sane, in a game theoretic sense. Suicide bombing requires divine intervention in chaos theory
@CTZN5 Well, if a suicide bomber takes out enough "enemies," his cost:benefit ratio can be better than the average enlistee's.

@KevinSimler again, the sanity of this depends on a belief in a deity -
@CTZN5 How so? Is it insane to volunteer for war? Say there's a 10% chance of death, to kill, on average, 1/10 of an enemy soldier. - 1 more reply
