Is it "cheating" in the big game of war? If the U.S. said if you go here, blow yourself, and a legitamate target up, the government will compensate you by giving your family millions, would you do it? I personally am not sure.

Thinking about it.......yes I would. With one condition. That payment would be made 1 week before the deed to enjoy some of that $ with my family. And no Im not a collage boy/girl.

well i'm not in the US army.
but if the Bundeswehr(German defense force) Told me to take this bomb and blow myself up. against an enemy with signifigant Threat to germany itself, i would do it without second thought.
Fur Deutschland zu sterban ist hoschte ehr.
That is the price of Freedom.
But i just want to note that training(atleast in germany) is to survive to fight another day. You're trained that if you can't kill them and survive. don't kill them. 'dieing for the fatherland' is actouly discouraged. the goal in any conflict for a soldier of the Bundeswehr is to survive. everything else is second.

Perhaps if enough volunteers could be found, it wouldn't be a bad idea... but it's just not economical enough. You'd have to train them to infiltrate target areas, which would cost a fortune. Not to mention for the millions of dollars to compensate a bomber's family you could deliver that bomb safely by way of a jet plane.

Now wait ! Don't go volunteering for anything. This is one time we can learn from corporae America.
They have been sending our jobs overseas for years, to China. Why ? Because things are so much cheaper in China. Why not suicide bombers !

Interesting ? I want to add on to it. If you failed your mission ( and got out of the foreign country alive) would the U.S. government put you in jail for attempted suicide considering suicide is illegal in the U.S.?

Moot Point...culturally it's not a thing we do. there's a saying, "All's fair in Love and War"
It's not cheating as much as it's desperate. You can't make people as fast as you can make bullets.

well I will tell you what, (what a twisted question)
I think any of my family members lives are worth way more than millions of dollars, so I really wouldn't want them to do it, meaning i'd rather have them than money...
