But who wants to be the first to charge into fire?


United States Marines are drawn towards gunfire; either by nature or training.

By Training. They have been taught the fact that diving into fire is going to save most of their lives and that retreating will just get them killed

I received (some) basic Special Forces Training and THAT was one of the first things they taught us.
