Sorry to continue the OT. But hearing about nobility and dying for one's country, frankly, is a crock to the troops on the ground. Whoever thinks this has not been in a conflict and seen the insanity up close.
In retrospect, a troop's death may have contributed to a larger, noble cause. But I can guarantee you that there's not one troop on the ground who would consider dying for his country or another country an honor, unless he's whacked out. Die for your buddy? You bet.
Fint, and whoever else thinks war is glorious, you've been watching movies and have not been there--unless you're mental.

PS. Yes, I've been there--mind you it was only Somalia
