I don't want to talk about my son in relation to this again. Sorry.
But, yes, the wording bothers me. Not the choice. Euphemisms by nature are intended to smooth over things which tend to raise a lot of emotion in people. When you're talking about choosing to fight or choosing to die, I think the smoothing over her choice with carefully chosen language makes light of the choice and is unfair to those who choose differently. Yeah, the language is my only problem here.
