    MASH hosted about 20 fleeing men and children in the first four months of 2013 before being shut down.

    Glass half full. He probably made a massive difference in the lives of those 20 in those few short months. Maybe even turned some lives around.

      20 men being able to have a stable place for a few months is amazing. If every man who gets involved manages 20 saves before he gets taken out, the whole thing could still work.

      It’s not the fun numbers like “helped 10,000,000 men then died happily of natural causes at a ripe old age”, but 20:1 is still pretty good.

      And let’s be real here. It’s not like he would have avoided suicide for longer if he hadn’t tried to help. Dude was probably with us far longer as a result of his own stepping up.

      Better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.
