    WIthout looking in a dictionary, 


    .....a martyr is someone who is willing (and often DOES) give up his/her life for what he/she believes. 


    The kamikaze pilots who flew suicide missions for the Japanese during World War II could probably be considered martyrs of a sort, as they gave up their lives for their political beliefs.


    Martyrdom is the action.


    Sometimes someone is martyred for "everyone".  Jesus comes to mind....


     


     

    does Frank Stag's hunger strike  count, or was he just slimmer of the year?
