this article made me sad reading...

Yeah getting blown up while walking down a street is real benefits, I can tell you right now we're going to disagree on this.

i think you people are all missing the main idea of what nail_polish was saying, she never said that the girl was any more special than anyone else, what she said was how she felt sad reading about the girl and that she died, how is that such a bad thing for her to want to talk about?

and pennypacker i have a hard time understanding how you can be so heartless to her, yes she signed her name on the line and she payed the ultimate price for that action, but if you were to die doing your job, or perhaps just taking the everyday risk of driving a car, i have a hard time believing that you would want us to disrespect you in death

When I go to work, I assume I won't die as a result of my work. I could always die. That's a possibility. This girl increased her chances of dying by signing the contract. That's the difference between the girl and I. She increased her chances intentionally.

No, the difference between the girl and you is that she made the ultimate sacrifice for what she felt was right. How many people do you know today with those kinds of convictions? She gave all she had just to serve her country, whether you or anyone agrees with the cause or not. We can't honor her enough.

(btw, "the girl and I" is normally correct at the end of a sentence, but when you have the preposition "between" in front, they both become objects of the preposition, and so become "the girl and me.")

Btw, this article didn't make me feel sad.

Why should I honour a terrorist?

Perhaps Pennypacker would be very capable of making the ultimate sacrifice for what he believes is right. If China invaded Europe and America tomorrow with 2 billion bloodthirsty androids he might sign up instantly and die fighting for his country. Because he believes it's right.

But he certainly doesn't believe in dying 10 goddamn thousand miles away in a sandy desert over some political bullshit. And that's his good right. If the girl did believe that's right, well, good luck dying.
