In his soliloquy "How all occasions inform against me", Hamlet considers the soldiers in Fortinbras's army, who have gone off to fight in a pointless war over a piece of land too small to build a graveyard to bury the dead that will fight over it. Even though their mission is pointless, it is honourable so they "go to their graves like beds"
If they can have the courage to do their duty, even in a silly cause, then why, Hamlet asks himself, "do I live to say 'this thing's to do' sith I have cause and will and strength and means to do't"?

What happened to fortinbras in hamlet?
He ends up being King of Denmark. Since the entire royal family of Denmark gets dead in the last act, and Fortinbras happens to be there with an army, he wins by default. Fortinbras says that he has some claim to the throne of Denmark. This is crap--he has no claim at all as Claudius showed clearly in the first act. He is just a scumbag adventurer who happens to be in the right place at the right time.
