Nathan-
I believe martyrs are psychotic. This being an illness, may possibly be reversed. I do not believe that say our soldiers that are fighting for us are martyrs. I believe that each of them would be scared to die, even if they didn't give up the secret whatever that the torturer was going to kill them over. The guy who sets himself on fire to prove to everyone that his religion is the "right" one is a whacko. By healthy, I mean physically as well as mentally.
