Very interesting. The young woman loses her life trying to help other people... and you’re desperately looking for a way to judge her. “I’ll bet she was a bleeding heart liberal!! (with zero evidence to support it). “She just wanted to be a community organizer!!”
Posts like this make me sick. She’s dead, okay? Happy? Comfortable behind that keyboard of yours?
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Why?
Are you looking for Brian Wilson's job ?
Invictus is so lofty. But it was a waste, and many people had a hand in getting her there.
Nothing but a lunatic would encourage their daughter down such a path. The arena she should have been in was here at home, having a normal life, not out finding out what ISIS does to American college girls.
That rhetoric of yours is precisely what makes kids forgo being a normal productive citizen, and head off to some foreign hell hole on other peoples dime, and call it work.
I honestly have much more respect for a couple out of college who gets married, and goes to a real job every day, and who get no “look at me” spotlight.
People scoff at them, but that’s who’s really “in the arena”. Not the ones on extended vacation from life.
