They both died for a cause. I'm not comparing them, I'm just saying that you can't make a blanket statement like "dying for your cause is honorable."

Quote:
Very few of the leaders were "willing" to die for their cause, they all thought that they would live until the end. They were "willing" to fight and win, but they were wrong and ended up dieing anyway. For those that, given the choice of lie down their beliefs or die, choose to die for what they believed in do have honor.
Yes, I'm talking about the scum that called itself the Shutzstaffel. I disagree that they were honorable, I think they were nothing better than fascist dogs.
