There are people who grew up in the same circumstances are your suicide bomber, yet don't feel the need to strap in and go boom. Blowing yourself up is a choice. So is the process that leads up to it.
Please don't try and make the point that the USA has a propaganda system which is as effective at instilling values and thoughts in children from an early age, as some of the illiterate provinces in the middle east have through the religious schools and massive propaganda spread by the few literate members of society there.
Born in McShit Project in USA it certainly brings disadvantages with it - but it's always your choice to sign up for the military. They offer a viable way out economically, and many take the easy route and just sign up.
Born in 1960-1990 in Afghanistan. You live in a society which is bombed to shreds. You have absolutely no support from the state (granted, it's very limited in the USA but lets not make the comparison). If you're born in the 60's you're being bombed to shits by the Soviets in your teens, and you join the mujehadeen to fight the invasion. If you're born later, you're born into a society which has religious dumbfucks running it, you won't learn how to read or write. You have no exit.
To blow yourself up is a choice, but please let's not compare the background of the people in the US military and suicide bombers in Afghanistan.
The Hamas even pay for your family and take care of them if your martyr yourself. If that was the only exit, i'd blow myself to pieces, too.

It is not. It's a very valid point.
