Reminds me of the GI who lost his leg in Afghanistan being interviewed by the press and getting angry at the reporters who were trying to get him to badmouth the Army, the SecDef, the President etc.
He basically told them: "I'm lucky I'm alive and I'm glad I made the sacrifice I did. I'll deal with the injury and there are 3,000 dead people in NYC, PA and the Pentagon who would be happy to be where I am right now."
