I misunderstood your meaning at first. I'm sorry too, I hope all Americans comprehend what we lost that day.
I agree about the loss (I can't say waste), but RR teaches us about love of country, love of your fellow Americans, and especially those fellow Americans at your side, those placed in your charge. We can learn from his actions. He saved thousands, and died to save the last dozen.
