    Dude really chose dying over maybe getting captured

    wtf did he expect to happen if he got captured?

    I guess he knew what America does with captured troops (e.g. Abu Ghraib), and assumed every other country is just as evil.

        Really depends. Conscripts are treated okay, while volunteers from Nazi units tend to get shot “during escape attempt”. Foreign mercenaries would probably fall in the latter category.

      Yea that’s my guess that it was all projection. He knew how the US military (and possibly the Ukrainian military) treated wounded prisoners (how many times has it come out that US/allied troops have executed wounded prisoners because it’s faster/easier that taking them prisoner) and figured he’d “go out on his own terms”.

      I am convinced that fascists have the Death Drive, they long for the void and their only goal in life is to bring as many people with them as possible.
