Only in the movies. Not everyone goes down fighting to the death. As Patton said, "The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his."

Fair enough.

I suppose that I may value my life a little less than others value theirs.

If you remember, in real life and in the movies, Patton told one General, I forget his name, do it or don't come back. That one happened in Sicily.

Surivival is a very strong instinct. I don't think I could ever be a suicide bomber.
