Very true.
When a man or a woman loses everything to include their own sense of dignity and self-worth they will do things that seem to us, completely irrational. They have nothing to live for and figure they can take a few with them since they want to check out anyway.
A man(or woman) that has nothing left to lose is a dangerous animal. I fear one of that type more so than the one who straps on a bomb for the thought of earning 72 virgins, or whatever the going rate is these days.
The jihadist suicide bomber can be a fickle creature, so much so that many times they are sent in with a backup plan that may include a secondary triggering system under the control of his handler or even a sniper on a rooftop to ensure the deadman switch functions as intended. Some are coerced into carrying out the mission by threat of harm to family members.
An American man or woman that has been humiliated, made destitute, widowed, persecuted or otherwise mistreated by "authority" will, in my opinion, be much more determined and much more reliable.
Not that I condone it.
