    What a bad ass. “Oh shit we’re all going to die!” “ME FIRST!”

      While not diminishing the heroism, laying atop a grenade might be among the least bad ways to go during the attack. One instant you’re there pumped on hero juice, the next instant you’re gone. No leftover brain activity to experience who knows what while actively dying.
