Modern martyrdom is not awesome fun. Well, perhaps sacrificing oneself for the greater good, has always been a recipe for dissapointment.
Crucifixitions, and assassinations, might make your post mortem life a blast, but post humous props don't seem too enticing.
That is unless you you abide by any Islamic promise of 7 sexy virgins greeting you sans Burkah, in the afterlife.
For the regular old Judeo Christian Joe, or Bradley, or Edward, or Barrett-- expect a one way trip down the rabbit hole.
Well, Edward Snowden finally got free of Moscow's Transit Zone. 
But, is this imagery something that will inpire selfless service in other NSA contractors, or those similary in possession of secrets that shouldn't be secrets?
Here, and there-- debates on whether Snowden's a traitor or a hero. As if Traitors are so stupid to get stuck in Russian airports for weeks???
Proper traitors get cold hard cash, and don't try to give away the goods to journalists first. DUH.
Whatever the case, until today, whistleblowing has led to asylum seeking, being forced into mental asylums, jail, isolation ouside and inside jail...uninvestigated deaths( if you don't think Michael Hasting's and others who were blowing whistles) were accidents.
A gaping maw of public disinterest, or haplessness, or.... whatever causes Justin Beiber to have 100 times the facebook likes of all modern martyrs combined, greets the prisoner of conscience's decision to do the right thing...

Excerpt from corporate rule book:
6) Whistling at work is prohibited . It may or may not disturb the customer's purchasing potential.
So, Me and Miley Cyrus got to talking . Pop, Billy Ray, is a fellow traveler from way back. I broke down her skepticism with 200 of my tiresome yet rousing speeches. This morning, she submitted to joining the cause. The cause, you ask?
Making whisteblowing a sexy gas! Burns calories, and get the MSM to take notice too.
Whistle-blow while you TWERK.
