I don't think anyone is "feeling sorry" for them..... its more a case of downright admiration for their courage and attitude.

Virtualy every military person I have ever met (and thats quite a few after 38 years in uniform) has known and accepted the risk of dying, but I'm pretty sure very few ever actually thought how they would react if not killed but seriously injured.

I, for one, never did, and I'm pretty certain I would not be able to behave like those guys last night. I'd like to say I would .. but the reality is I probably would not.  :-[ :-[ :-[

I'd probably be in the corner blubbing and feeling sorry for myself.  :-[ :-[ :-[ or contemplating the "other" way out .. but probably wouldn't have the guts to do that either...

i doubt you'd be feeling sorry for yourself, but you're right - maybe our men and women in the forces truly do not think about being disabled, but accept the fact they may die in the line of duty - i guess no-one fully looks at the consequences or else you would never have anyone joining the military, the fire service, volunteering on RNLI etc or maybe they do face up to them and, knowing the risks (maybe subconsciously) they still step up to the plate - thats bravery
