The Western View of a Warrior Ship

The Western view of warrior ship is always to try and survive so that you can fight on. I think there is something in the Western tradition, which although not frightened of suicide, regards it with the degree of disrespect. The main Western group that preaches suicide at the moment is the Italian Sicilian American mafia. It's meant to open his veins in a warm bath as certain senators and other leaders of the Roman Republic and Empire did in the ancient world. There was something irreducibly other and Japanese about it, which no Westerner can completely grasp.
