As a Christian I would think you'd want to go to heaven. It seems like the sooner you can get there the better as your odds of not doing something evil that could get you damned would be lower. Muslim soldiers voluntarily die for their cause because they believe they will be rewarded in the after life with 72 virgins. While Christians believe something different I would still think that expediting your death in a way that is justifiable according to God would be a smart thing that every Christian would want to do?
If you're a Christian what % of Christian U.S. soldiers do you think go to heaven? Do you think it's most? All? Just about all? It sure seems like dying for freedom, liberty, America.... that has to be an incredibly noble cause doesn't it? If that's the case why aren't more people in a hurry to put their life on the line? I would think it would be almost braver for a Christian to not risk their life. The more time you spend on earth the higher the odds of Temptation are correct?
The old saying goes that there are no Atheists in Foxholes. The logic being that if you don't believe there is a life after death, you wouldn't be willing to risk your life for anything or anybody else. By that logic should Christians be extra willing to risk their life?
