Examples can beseen in the following:
1. Patriotic - to inspire others to fight in their death.2. Strategic reasoning - to get an explosive device as close to the hostile as possible.3. Religious - some people believe that if they die intentionally, they will be martyred and will go to a higher plain of existence.4. Limited options- lack of equipment can lead to extreme methods used.Countries that have used these tactics or intentional death to gain military advantage intensively include, but are not limited to: Ireland, Japan, some countries from the Middle East, the Philippines and the Soviet Union (animalsb*mbs).
