To quote Julius Cesar, from my high school days, "Cowards die many times before their death, the valiant taste of death but once. It seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come".
My opinion is that your opinion is extreme and not at all realistic. I don't think I believe in predestination. I am astonished by this reaction which seems to be gaining more and more momentum and makes me hate politics even more, although I have always thought of myself as very patriotic. I am just sad. Really sad. What it looks like to me is that older people are disposable. I do hope that this movement would be different if staying home saved beautiful young lives. I do so hope that would be true.
