Suicide by any means takes a lot of courage. The promise of an afterlife filled with virgins and whatnot is intangible at best. These men have never felt the touch of paradise, have never seen anything like it here on earth. Maybe the hell they live in is what really gives them conviction.
I think social support has more to do with it. As long as people have a solid foundation of others to agree with them on what is right and what needs to be done, they're pretty much capable of anything. Our soldiers are no exeption. Look how they respond in wars when the public is against them.
