The semantic jungle is fraught with undergrowth, the childish attachment to the dead serves the living poorly.

Gibberish IS the undergrowth in your semantic jungle. The poorly worded rant meant to obfuscate rather than illuminate serves conversation and debate poorly. The reverence afforded those who serve honorably and with sacrifice--especially in the most dangerous fields of endeavor--is a worthy human undertaking.

[Old Professer]
