In great stories, the hero must always die. Why? Because in great stories you care about the characters, and having one character sacrifice him or herself can mess with your emotions once you know them. It makes the story much more satisfying, though.
And what would the Chief do if the war ended? Live happily ever after? I don't think so. He has no place; even if it's not sacrifice he has to die for the story to work.
I'm going to have to strongly disagree with you on this one. Maybe that is just because that is the kind of person I am, I don't like sad endings. And like I said before, the Chief has this aura of invincibility around him, he cant die. HE JUST CANT MAN!
