Ya, that one's a little different as he'd already escaped in essence.

If you're in the trenches or on the front line or whatever, you aren't going to survive the mutiny.

I'd be worried about them torturing instead of killing me once I started shooting in my own people, hence the intention to kill myself after to ensure it was quick and painless.

To get to that position he had to kill the rest of the crew. Notice it was only one guy and one helicopter, nobody else came with him

I thought he killed them once they landed? I remember reading they were confused about their location before he shot them.

Oh, I missed that detail. Anyway, my point is it's not easy to just turn yourself in, you need to be a good soldier just to surrender!
