I don't think they're quite that. Yeah, they're a group of fight happy lunatics who only care about war. But they have clans and leaders and even a form of currency. Doesn't sound like anarchists.

But the times that they do in unsupported really takes me out of it. Chaos I could understand doing this suicidal shit but the IG? Where they have semi-sane commanders?
An example being vraks. I know that the death Korps are super fanatical but there is a diff between sacrifice and suicide and only one benefits the Emperor.

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

Considering that the galaxy has already been explored by the time of 40k, that guardsman is too late to explore that too.
So dying for the emperor it is then!

Which... actually means that Guardsman is born in exactly the right time to be exploring the galaxy.
He is just choosing to fight and die for the Emperor instead. Which is of course the correct choice for any loyal servant of the Imperium.

Any true citizen of the Imperium would happily volunteer for the Imperial Guard and use his or her body as a meat shield to be shredded apart by hostile xenos warmachines.
