My grandfather died fighting for our country. He knew what he was getting into when he signed up for the military. No one made my grampas dumb ass sign up or go to the front lines. He wanted to play with the big boys, and he faced the consequences.

So this child dying isn't a tragedy?
"tragedy: A disastrous event, especially one involving distressing loss or injury to life."
The word tragedy does not go to intent of the victim, therefore this IS a tragedy. It's arguable that when any child dies that it is a tragedy.
