Close, but you're missing a key difference. These martyrs we're dealing with are not just willing to die they deliberately die, while except for the rarest occasions we train and equip our forces to live. And its not just 72 virgins, there are 72 mansions each with 72 rooms and in each room there are 72 virgins. This in a society that raises the most sexually repressed young men possible. quote:
ORIGINAL: jlf1961 Unfortunately, stupidity has nothing to do with it, it is a matter of faith. It is the same for military personnel who are "willing to die for their country." It just means you are willing to die for what you believe in. It is not stupid or crazy. Every man who ever wore a uniform, myself included has been willing to put his life on the line, otherwise we would not have joined. But you forget, when a Muslim is martyred, he gets 72 virgins when he makes it to heaven.
