The giving of ones own life, whatever you wish to call the method, to avoid giving aid to the enemy is a time honored last ditch act among military members throughout time. It is not suicide to avoid pain or suffering. It is not a cowardly or selfish act. How would this be any different than if he had thrown his body on a mine to protect his men and thus foul the enemies plan?
