I think fighting for what you believe in is such an honorable thing. My grandfather was in WW2 and he got 3 purple hearts and a silver star for fighting for what he believed in. I think to fight and die a heros death is the greatist way to go out. See if i was a chracter in lotr then i would have chosen to die(if i had to) fighting to the death like Theodin wanted to. I would have ridden out to meet them and die the most truly honorable way.
