Rescue people I have known like to do rescues, and take great pride in bringing off a difficult one. It might be a form of thrill-seeking too, but for a worthwhile purpose.

Those people are nearly insane with bravery, IMO. The ones who went into North Vietnam in CH-53s to recover downed pilots...

No braver. No better.

I think it is foolish possibly squandering your life that way, but let those try it who feel like they just have to. Myself I can think of better ways to spend my money if I had any.
