I think back to those brave americans on 9/11 that decided it would be better to crash into a field, than allow the terrorists to hit Washington DC. There are times when sacrifice is needed by a few, to prevent the deaths of many. It's not fair, but freedom, as they say, requires blood sacrifice to be maintained. That is not just limited to those in uniform. There are many brave souls standing watch today, and I thank God for them, but I for one would rather die at the hands of American fighter pilots, then in the hands of terrorists, accomplishing their twisted goals. Shoot the plane down, then honor the sacrifice of those who die by eliminating those responsible.
Soldier on the battle field,
Sailor on the sea;
Pilot in the bright blue sky,
All willing to die to keep us free.
Be Pono!
