my wife is 50% american indian

they hate you...

There once was a tribe of American Indians that were being systamatically wiped out by overwhelming numbers of U.S. Soldiers. These men, women, and children had fought and won many a pitched battle and against overwehelming odds won time and again. But now they were almost out of food and ammunition except for bows and arrows. At the last they were trapped in a cave and could not be extracted without some loss of life by the soldiers. So the Soldiers decided to starve them out.

The suffering was great. Fear of dying is always a challenge. In the end the last braves strung their bows and instead of waiting charged the soldiers.

They could have held out longer hoping for some miracle. I approve of their choice. I have always remembered this story and remember how hard I cried when I read it.

It has been hard for me to appreciate this culture when the soldiers are still running things.

is it cowardice to be a passive person or to accept whats done as being
unchangable or even to die of old age? What you see as cowardly may not
be to another, it depends on your nature.


No, not really. There's certain consensus of where "honor" really stands. It's to do something out of selflessness, do something from the heart. You might think that hiding out in the trenches might be the most logical way to stay alive during the war even though your platoon is rushing out in no-man's land, and even survive afterwards ... but add up the perception of many, and you didnt make an honorable decision.

For many, it is more honorable to live than to kill and die.

But dying for your country (when there's an honorable cause, not some WMD bullshit), or dying for your loved ones is dying for everything that you stand for.
