Maybe it is also to do with mindset, my grandfather was a lieutenant commanding a platoon (later a company) in Italy during the war, his last words before he died in 1998 were 'did I get them back, did I bring the men back?' That is why people will endure things we can't imagine, that kind of mindset which puts staying with your comrades before your own comfort and safety. Well, thats my theory anyhow.
