It really isn't like that. You would never do anything to jeopardize the mission, or the people around you that are closer than family.
Even if the soldier doesn't care if they live or die, they still care deeply about the people around them. I know that sounds like a contradiction, but it isn't. Another thing, it isn't about "not caring about your personal safety" either. You care, and you want the mission to go smoothly, for the same reason: you care about the people around you.
Suicide happens when you know that your stress is affecting the team, and the team would be better off not having you around and worrying about you.
You get a Dear John letter, or the CO tells you that your dad died or something.
