The Roth assassination in the airport is a suicide mission, all the more so because the assassin has a limp and therefore has zero chance of getting away.

I am not intending to disrepsect your opinions about this, but am sincerely trying to understand your thought process.
You say that that Rocco was sent on this Roth hit and took it as a form of self redemption, similar to Pentangeli, and that it WAS a suicide mission.
Then a few posts later you ask if Rocco had known in advance that he was going on a suicide mission, what kind of frame of mind would he be in going on this mission.
So which is it?
Did Rocco take this assignment as a way of going out with honor for betraying Michael, just as Pentangeli did?
Or
Was Rocco sent on this mission unaware that he would be killed? Unaware that Michael was setting him up for betraying him?
