The Sad Irony

Perhaps I am a horrible person for not immediately thinking how sad this is, but rather having the thought, "I guess he failed the exercise." The story is that a soldier at Ft. Hood was taking part in a solo training exercise to test map reading and navigation skills. He had been missing for four days before his body was found. While it's very unfortunate that this guy died, I can't help but find the irony that it was because he got lost during a test to see if he could avoid getting lost.
