I've done it more than once. I never found a good reason why. And society never found a good reason either. I think I will call it the way I am. Is that okay with you? Or do you need a society stamp on it?

Adapting to what other tells tyou to do. that's what I call cowardice.

It's easy to kill. Just become a sniper, and shoot.
it's a lot harder to put yourself in a position where you might lose your life, saving someone you don't even know.

F* no, there's no honor to it. It may save other lives but don't talk about honor.

If you're lucky you never will wake up.
Lucky as in needing to look at yourself.

that's the guys that gives you the war stories.
the other ones just don't want to talk about it.

If you want to be clear about it, it's the difference between a soldier, and a brave, or warrior. War's is not a test of bravery any more, it's a test of who has the best logistics, the best tools and the best support. There is always place for innovations, but they don't come until the rest is expended. Well, presuming we don't go ftl?

It's about the costs of a war, the one that can afford it versus the ones that can't.
And what tools you use.

Why Iran becomes a 'threat'. It's not because they suddenly invented something new. It's the tool they might get access too.

71,419 Sweden Total Deaths 5,420
  8,926  Norway  Total Deaths   251

There is a lot of excuses for the figures, and a truth in the seriousness of how we handle statistics, compared to some.
