"No man left behind"

[Hydrotech364]

I was with The HSC-4 Black Knight's Combat SAR. Whether you wanted us to come for you or not was not a factor.We did work with Team One and Six too.Hairy shit sometimes.Ya'll can Google us and I have pic's for the skeptic's.Just had our Flag Aircraft repainted by a sexy little Lady .She's doing all of the Squadron Bird's.
Each HSC Squadron has 8 bird's and are within hour's of everywhere in the World.The Black Knight's were the first boots on the ground when Japan collapsed.Bunch of Brother's and Sister's are sick.

Collecting my dead corpse isn't worth risking your life over. I'd rather I be left than be the reason you were killed.

I agree with this as well. I just think it's assinine to risk life for a corpse for no reason other than not letting the animals get to it, etc. I would be beggin no one to come for me if it was my end game and I saw it coming. All I would think of is their wife and kids and whatnot and how stupid it would be for them to die to come collect a dead body. Fuckin leave me and fight another day so your kids don't have to grow up with a folded flag in place of their mother or father.

My wife agrees. She thinks it would be a waste of life for the neighbor to die just trying to drag my dead corpse home. I get the symbolism, but you only get one chance at life, and the world doesn't need more dead heroes.

I'm no expert on this matter as a soldier's life never appealed to me. I would say that those who are living that life should decide for themselves what is the best approach and act accordingly. I have seen veterans post positive comments on the practice and I suppose that I can understand both sides of the argument.
Maybe for some of the people out there getting shot at by the enemy daily, it makes their life seem a little more valued to think that their corpse is worth collecting and returning home. We know that when Government owned Hummers have no uselful life left, they are simply discarded like used up junk. Maybe some of the soldiers get comfort from thinking of themselves as more than a government asset.
On the other hand, I've said plenty of times, when I am dead, don't spend any money on fancy boxes that will just rot in the ground... The whole idea of how the empty vessel left behind once we die is treated is such a personal subject. There is no wrong answer.

How do you know someone is dead?

Excellent point!

 

[lokie]

Worth more possible lives?

you think this funny it would apear. name a number.

if 10000 would come is that ok.
may be 1000 fine men.
what about 100 would they be worth while?
or 10 is that enough to do anything for?

how a bout 4 that had known there were 1000's of friendly's within miles and nary a one was approved to
launch a response to try and improve the already dire situation.

I don't understand what you're trying to say

 

[lokie]

Have you one thought that you can follow. To conclusion?

When what I'm responding to makes sense, yeah

you think this funny it would apear. name a number.

Do I think what is funny? Name a number?

if 10000 would come is that ok.
may be 1000 fine men.
what about 100 would they be worth while?
or 10 is that enough to do anything for?

10,000 what? "come" where?

What are you saying?

how a bout 4 that had known there were 1000's of friendly's within miles and nary a one was approved to
launch a response to try and improve the already dire situation.

How does this apply to what I'm talking about?


Sentence structure, grammar, punctuation, all very important in order to comprehend what is being said. Keep that in mind and try again.

pull your head from your swines vagina and you may be able to read a complete sentence.

Soldiers retrieve the body still having hope that they can save him so of course it's worth it. Most of that time it's a sniper when it happens as they usually fight in a pack so this rarely happens. When it's a sniper, they will risk it because any soldier will tell you they are going in the war expecting to die so it relieves that stress of, I don't wanna be next.

 

[Padawanbater2]

Now I'm not sure if you know what a complete sentence is. Everything you said was a tangent, not a sentence.

Why don't you just retype it out correctly and try not to be so defensive about me asking politely so I can understand what you're trying to say?

 

[Trolling]

Hey! At least I'm trying!

I'm not talking about wounded soldiers, it of course goes without saying you should try to get them out of harms way. That's something definitely worth risking your own life over.

I'm talking about lifeless corpses, clearly dead. No coming back.

I don't think soldiers expect to die when they go into battle, I'm sure they consider the possibility, however likely or unlikely it may be, but I would say most of them expect to come back alive.

You keep telling us what you think about boot camp and combat and soldiers and you have absolutely no experience to back it up with...

The military code is based on thousands of years of warfare.

Well then forgive me for going against the traditional grain.

Would you want a buddy to be killed trying to collect your corpse?

If I were in the military, I'd explicitly tell my squad not to come get me if it puts their own lives in danger. I couldn't give a damn about my body once I'm already dead. The only exception I can think of is if some of my good organs are needed, but I'm not familiar with emergency medical procedures that work that fast.

In my opinion there are many reasons not including the psychological conditioning they put people through to allow them to conduct war.

Soldiers, especially lower level soldiers are not given the opportunity to do alot of choosing. They are told what to do and expected to do it even while being shot at. It is not about what they want. That is the reason you have to search deep inside yourself if you are considering joining the military.
