Death in the Sport of Life

[AWP]

I don't agree with everything written and it is a long article, but I also think it was some very solid points. Some of the mechanisms he describes (like black humor) are already well known to most of us.

This is a good but sometimes painful read. I know a few areas hit home for me.

Blue Skies, Black Death.

Interesting read... ties in with the military fatalism we've all seen and experienced.

Substitute chutes for bombs, and that's the EOD life to a T.

Thank you for finding and sharing.

High-risk events are the same the world over. Like you said, @racing_kitty substitute xxx for yyy. Motivations may differ, higher purposes may differ, but at the end of the day the living and dead alike pay the same freight.
