if i must die young... then i would choose to die carrying out my oath of office in combat.
if not, then i would want to pass away at home at a ripe old age. i wouldn't want to die in my sleep, i want to be awake in order to analyze the experience as much as i could... though it may be painful.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
~ Winston Churchill
