Interesting article. I always thought being a soldier sent to war was probably the toughest position to be in. To have to kill or be killed. One of my biggest fears in life was that I kill somebody, I used to have nightmares over it. I'm also familiar with the stigma of suicide in orthodox Christianity since I know quite a few of them and their customs and traditions.
