I don't think death is honorable at all. I think it's foolish to go around wasting life. Maybe it's because I'm an atheist and don't believe in heaven, but I dunno...I don't think soldiers are even necessarily dying for our way of life and freedom anymore. Vietnam for example, was not about freedom, but since it was against communism I guess it could be our way of life. Unless some planet of the apes shit goes down, I don't think we're fighting for freedom, we're just fighting to oppress others and force our values on them. The middle easterns hate us for a reason. Americans don't understand why, just that relegation is a bitch.
