here is the back ground. i have a friend who is 27 in the army reserves. the army didn't pay him his bonus reenlistment money so he can get out if he wants. his unit is getting deployed in a couple of months. he called me yesterday and said that he really likes a girl from high school. he only knows where she lives. but he knows that her house is getting for closed and she just got a dui. here is his plan:
Plan A:
talk to the girl and see if he can help her make the payments.
Plan B (if plan A fails and she says no):
go to iraq with his unit and die (by walking into enemy fire). and give his 400k life insurance to the girl.
He is a close friend of mine he just ran his plans by me. i was shocked when i heard plan B. i know i won't be able to talk him out of it. what do i do now?? any ideas will help.

sacrificing his life is the last option he should choose.....help him find more ways of helping her out and btw does she even know he likes her?
that's the thing she knows but hasn't seen him since high school.
As far as the girl goes, he should try to build a romantic relationship with the girl before he starts paying all her bills. It would just be a sugar daddy situation and that would leave him more messed up in the end.
In my opinion, he should talk to a therapist. Option B is just disturbing. No healthy person is going to automatically sacrifice themselves to support a girl that he has no relationship with. It's just not normal. If he doesn't want to see a therapist, you or someone else he trusts need to talk to him about it. In the end, he may still stick with that option, but you'll have seriously tried to prevent from wasting his life.
I definately agree with everyone else.. option B is definately not the way for it to go. He shouldn't even cnsider that option. For one, if he does that and someone else tries to save him, it will endanger the entire unit and might even cause more people to die. And also, it wouldn't solve anything. It's a temporary solution to a long standing problem. It won't solve anything. IF he really wants to help her, then he should sit down and think of creative ways to help her without killing himself and the unit too. He can even send the money to the girl's parents if she refuses and tell them to use that money if she can't get enough herself. Basically, anything so he won't commit suicide.
capitalization? who the heck came up with this horrible rule?!
