THEY DIDN'T DIE FOR NOTHING!!! – it's an emotional hammer they beat us with if we dare question the value of this war– "Are you going to tell those soldier's families that their loved ones died for nothing!?"
No, I won't have to , because they'll figure it out for themselves.
Guess what? EVERYONE dies for nothing – killed in war, killed by a drunk driver, killed by cancer – all death is ugly and petty and shabby. Death is not noble, it's not heroic, it doesn't serve a greater purpose. We all die for nothing – the question is what do we live for. Laying down your life for a cause is not the ultimate sacrifice… dedicating your life to a cause is the ultimate sacrifice.
If you glorify the death then it cheapens the life, and lessens the realization of the tragedy.
