Sorry, I have to ask:
Does this actually make any sense? I mean, when we really pause and think it through?
Just because someone risked their lives, doesn't mean that they are right. Similarly, just because someone is an eyewitness it doesn't mean that they are right (it just means that they probably are). It is worth respecting people for what they did and went through. But this shouldn't translate into a completely unquestioning attitude, where any other thoughts are considered sacrilegious.
It is disturbingly like not questioning politicians on the value of a war because soldiers are fighting in it (albeit 10000 times less important).
I really, truly, liked your point about the fact that no one dies in SoW. I think it is incisive and really brings out the heart of the subject.
