So by killing some of the ten men with guns you could theoretically be protecting some of your fellow countrymen (and women and children if they are corrupt) from being killed or brutalized by these enemy soldiers in the ongoing war.
Thats exactly what David Reimer did. By committing suicide it showed to the world how horrible the infant genderchanging experiments were. By doing what he did he really helped contribute to stopping others from becoming similar victims. All his other campaigning went for not. Only suicide was a powerful enough statement to compete against the clout and authoritative opinions of the doctors. I don't know if that was fully his intention to send a message, but if none of them sacrificed themselves the treatment would be alot more widespread and would have claimed alot more victims.
