Some soldiers on either side would be martyrs. The belief for which you choose to die doesn't have to be a correct one. That's one of the horrors and ironies that emerge in war. Good people on opposite sides die, willingly, for their opposite causes, and do so with great courage.

Yes, the suicide-killers in Littleton would be proud to know it, if their act resulted in more hate and death.

Read up on the goings on in Salem, Massachusetts. Or try Nauvoo Illinois. Or the Mormon War. Most of the repression of the Indians was directed to non-Christian Indians. Nothing very serious, of course, but many people died because their beliefs didn't match those in power who were clothed with the authority of the state.
