Sure it does. Intentional martyrdom is suicide. Knowingly giving up one's own life for one's beliefs. You think of martyrdom as a virtue, but suicide an escape...so they can't be the same thing....ignoring that they are interchangeable in the most "virtuous" of situations, wherein the martyr fully understands the consequences of their actions.
I met plenty of people who committed suicide precisely -because- they belonged to god...I met them briefly and violently, generally, at the end of their lives.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
