An account from the book "Dissent into Hell" describes how an American soldier witnessed a man in a suicidal environment turn into a madman and bash his own wife and children to death with a piece of wood, along with other violent methods of suicide such as using rocks and sticks. The situation in the Pacific can be unclear whether individuals truly want to commit suicide or feel compelled to do so due to propaganda and other factors.
