Do you think countries should have a suicide regiment?

They can create suicide regiments where people who are depressed and suicidal people can join.They can help people who are stuck in natural disasters, saving whom will result in sure death or help in matters of world security where millions of lives are involved which will also result in death.

No, having suicidal people in dangerous situations is a bad idea since usually the only thing on their mind is just dying and not care about the consequences of themselves or others. And the added costs of training and equipping people will just be a waste when they eventually die and probably wont complete the mission. It's why the military and other government agencies usually barr people who have a history of mental health issues and/or suicidal behaviors/history.

I dunno, I hear where MiLarper is coming from, but I like the idea. In Japan, after the nuclear accident at Fukushima, they allowed elderly people to help with toxic cleanup. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-pacific-13598607#:~:text=A group of more than,over the age of 60

I like the idea of a Night Watch like in A Song of Ice and Fire too. Opting in to a brotherhood where there is no expectation of career, family, building a social network etc-just turn over your life and work and have all the answers handed to you.

Its not a stupid question to ask so dont feel bad. It's just being realistic like suicidal people, especially if their young, helping others or following orders isn't exactly on their mind, especially if said orders are inconveniant. Suicidal people in that moment for me personally, would not give a shit about anything at all.

It takes all kinds. In my lowest moments, I wished I could save someone through dying, or at least donate my organs. And my suicidality has waxed and waned over the years. I've held jobs and followed orders as a distraction. If a job had a risk high risk of death and all my coworkers were in a similar mind state, I don't know, it sounds appealing.

I do hear your logic. Also, we are group that is both vulnerable to abuse and disdained by the general population, so maybe it would be a real shitshow. Still sounds good from here though.
