With 13 months as an Infantry RTO in Nam, I was too busy to think about dying. However, I've looked into the face of death and the dying on many occasions.

There's a great line in the movie "Spartacus." Tony Curtis asks Kirk Douglas, "Spartacus, are you afraid to die?" He replies, "No more than I was to be born." I've never forgotten that line.

Thirty days after 9/11, I had a heart attack that brought a 6-way bypass. Everyone thought I was crazy because I was in such a good mood at the hospital. Although I had brain activity via a heart/lung machine, my heart was stopped and outside of my chest for 8.5 hours.

So, am I afraid to die or afraid of death? Get in my face and find out! Oh, and that's not for the crew here. It's for any terrorists who may be perusing this forum (shame on you. You won't get your ten vestial virgins now!).

I would say that, what it boils down to is simply this: Do you know where you'll be 2 minutes after you quit breathing? I do. Do you?
