In the novel, "Run Silent, Run Deep", Commodore Blunt is having to tell Commander Richardson that old boat, Walrus, is 'gone'. I don't have the book handy ( Me VERY bad ), but, it states that:
The grave of the Warrior is the holiest of places...for the Warrior doe not die for this reason or that reason...BUT FOR AN IDEAL...A DREAM...and who are we, those He fought for, to say whether or not it was right or it was wrong? A Warrior's death is the most NOBLE of Deaths...for it is the Ultimate Sacrifice, for the Ultimate Dream
It's been a long while since I've read the book...but, after seeing this magnum opus, and the lyrics that acompany it...I don't think I can say it any better.
