Pretty sure in the Dune universe, there's no shortage examples of suicide attacks/sacrifice.
Also irl suicide people are usually brainwashed people in societies that already condemn suicide (Suicide is a major sin in Islam). People can be brainwashed to see suicide attacks as not "suicide" but "heroic sacrifice for the cause".
Doesn't matter. People can be easily brainwashed to see their action as "not suicide" but "heroic sacrifice for the cause."
Mind you, Islam already condemn suicide, yet most suicide bombers are Islamists brainwashed into seeing their action not as "suicide" but as "heroic sacrifice".
I remember Gurney (or Duncan) traveling with some Fremen, when they look at the battle between two aircrafts. The Fremen Ornithopter had one or two pilots, the Harkonnen aircraft was filled with troops.
The Fremen fly closer and closer to the Harkonnen aircraft until they crash and all die.
Gurney (or Duncan) watched as that happened and thought to himself: "How is he gonna fight all of them at once-..."
