<p>(getting off topic, but good discussion)
If my death serves a usefull purpose, or saving me would result in further loss of life, I could accept that. I know where I am going and wouldn’t mind so much. I understand the risk and am serving for a higher purpose than myself. Of course, I would love to stick around for a while. </p>
<p>I hate it when people act like soldiers died because of the government, or that they were not supposed to be in combat. They are soldiers, their job is inherently prone to danger. No one wants to see them pay the ultimate price, but it can happen.</p>
