You're an asshole! My father was a captain in Jersey City. He watched two of his men die. He still walked into engulfed buildings pulling people out.
I somewhat followed in his footsteps becoming a volunteer in South NJ. I attended four funerals of brothers caught in a woods fire. I had people die in my arms. I walked into fully involved structures, also pulling people out. Like my father, I was was scared most of the time.
We did what we had to do, because some one had to.
Well drama queen, too bad your emotional appeal doesn’t change the facts, and it doesn’t change the facts that the appearance of danger is part of what makes it appealing to so many many men, that and the money, benefits, and work conditions, because if it wasn’t for those then they would just become roofers or taxi drivers, or loggers, or construction workers like the rest of us, there are many routine jobs that we and our sons and dads do which are more dangerous.
