I do not know his exact statment about this but I think that any person can decide what they think is the best way to die. I am learning about the Spatains whom beleived that the most honorable way to die is in war for their country. I believe that dying honorably has nothing to do with accomplishing nothing. I, for one, think that if you are dying for a good reason like if somebody were to be able to get in bettween the bullet aimed at Martin Luther King Jr. and die for him- honorably I would accomplish something because allowed a chance for someone else to occomplish something. Another example is when the 300 Spartains took on a much greater amount of warroirs to by the rest of the Greeks time to esape and prepare for battle to eventually beat the Persians is very honorable. I think the two go hand in hand.

But i never read the statement so this is probably off topic and i wasted 20 minutes. O YEA!
