If the deaths resulting from an accident/war event/natural disaster reach double figures, we talk of a major tragedy. Then we are told again of the millions -literally - of young and very young men who were simply wiped out, mere cannon fodder, in the 'war to end all wars'. Perspective is everything. Life is always precious, the most precious gift we have. And it's not the length of a life that matters really; it's what that individual did with that gift.
