I was watching McCain's speech when he said something about a guy who died in Iraq(?). This rose a question.
Why do we honor the dead?
Death is quick. Swift. Painless. Even for the families, the pain will go away for the most part after time. Life moves on.
While people come back missing limbs.
Losing a leg will pineapple you over for the rest of your life. It will pineapple over you emotionally, and financialy. You'll never be the same. Life won't 'just move on'.
Why do we honor the dead when the maimed suffer much, much more. <_<
