> You've got to die of something; so you might as well die for something

It's very easy to die "for something" when you're already dying. The question is how much of your life you're willing to give up for something by dying right now.

People talk about "dying for your country" as if it's all one and the same, but some people die for the people in their country and some people merely die for the interests of their state.
