Afghan women are fleeing in terror of the Taliban's violence, which includes rape and worse. But they have nowhere to go.

You don't hurt the Taliban by jumping off a roof. If instead you run out and shoot them until they kill you, you might do them damage, and you'll have a faster death. Taliban might be dissuaded from forcing women into "marriage" if the women stabbed them in the night.

If the Afghans who don't want Taliban rule had been motivated to die fighting, they could have won the war. The sad fact is that they were not generally so motivated.
