Do you think over the course of human history that men and women went to war with the hope of dying?

Well many such cases of pride, nationalism, propaganda, honour did create such effect. Vikings used dying in battle as a way to live that was their golden ticket. Romans used dying in battle as the uppermost thing you could do for the empire, for your people. Muslims as their golden ticket too. Japan, nothing was worse in their culture than dishonour which surrender instead of dying was seen as a lot of times though they weren't that certain on dying unlike the others mentioned.

Though was anyone actually hoping to die or more a matter of rationalizing dying... I'll go with rationalizing. I don't think anyone actually hopes to die, one only hopes for change or what change it could bring.

That was very well thought out. Certainly a more detailed answer. Thanks

Your welcome, was an interesting question tbh

Rarely. Only in some cultures that value that because of religion and maybe if they thought they would go somewhere better if they did.
