By the way, you only don't fear death in four cases:
- you're so old that you don't really care any more
- you don't actually face it
- you're a fool
- you're a fanatic or a berserk or otherwise brainwashed
I've read some memoirs (WWI, WWII,Russian & Allies, German) and heard quite enaugh interviews with veterans of Great Patriotic War (Russian World War II campaign) and even talked to some myself and NO ONE has ever said or wrote that they were completely unafraid of death. The most common answer is "only fools aren't afraid". Instinct of self-preservation isn't that is easy to suppress. In fact it's only moments of either complete apathy from tiredness or short moments of last heroic feat when one loses their fear of death on frontline or in other such situation.
