Is being a soldier assigned to conduct an assault operation also a suicide attempt?
Knowingly doing something that might kill you is not the sole criteria for a suicide attempt. If they weren’t suicidal it wasn’t a suicide attempt.
Doing something that will almost assuredly kill you is a suicide attempt.
Suicide: the act or an instance of taking one’s own life voluntarily and intentionally

Lol. I’m a therapist, and you’re being pedantic. Suicide means killing yourself. He may not have been clinically “suicidal” but he still attempted suicide
Edit: I thought you were the original commenter when I said you were being pedantic
