Really? and how many people do you know that have committed suicide? How many people have you seen commit suicide?
Out of my troop from Yugoslavia, 4 have committed suicide and one is a vegetable after a failed attempt - do I feel for them? Yes I do, and I visit Andrew twice a year at the veteran's Hospital in Ottawa. However that still doesn't change the fact that I consider their suicide an act of cowardice - they gave up because they were too afraid to go on; they didn't have the courage to keep fighting, the courage to help others going through the same thing, the courage to accept the horrors and move on.
Equally, while in Yugoslavia I saw suicidal acts that were incredibly noble and courageous - but on the whole suicide is the act of a coward, and a quiter.
