If that were remotely true then why rush into the second tower after the first collapsed? They knew that they stood on death's door, and going into that tower they knew not everyone was going home. The same is true for the soldier everytime he goes into battle and the cop when he goes to work.
They like Christ may not want to die (as per His prayer in the garden of gesamane before his capture) but they all do their duty when push came to shove.
That said I noticed you strawman'ed your way to a point by deleting the mother I started my example with and replaced her with a cop. Do you not understand when you have to change the value of my arguement to make your's work, that means your arguement is not valid? There is a reason I lead with a mother and her Child, because The Same love that is shown there is the same type of Love that has Christ submit to being nailed on a cross.
