An answer to a dumb question

[Gadget (fmr Marine)]

You have never been in a life or death situation, and had to decide whether you live or die, have you? The choice is an easy one.

When I was a kid learning how to be a life guard, it was taught by the Red Cross, that if you go in to save a life, you should NEVER endanger your own...or risk losing your own life.....

I found it a good lesson when I was in the Corps.....if you have the chance/choice.....don't get killed, and do everything you can to eliminate those who would kill you, your family, unit, Americans or innocent civilians. It is an easy choice.

Was the Marine a sociopath incapable of feeling empathy for others or of feeling the regret that normal people feel after they kill another human being? I don't get why the question was stupid. Maybe the joke should be called "Using humor to hide the pain associated with war."
