If you walk away with your life you're by definition not a martyr.
- stinnyfregs 14y agoWrong. All you have to do is make a major sacrifice.
- cobrausn 14y agoNitpicking. People are often called 'martyr for a cause' if they end up persecuted or imprisoned. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/martyr http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/martyr Definition #2. It helps if you die, but it's not required.
