Survival of the fittest?"
No.
Triage.
If the river levees break, or the leaking POL storage tanks ignite, we will lose the ability to save large numbers of people.
In any event, people can only survive a few days without water. Others need medical care. We do not have an infinite period of time to rescue these people. It is a race against the clock.
If you have to choose between one guy on a vent or ten guys that are sick but can sit upright in the chopper, you choose the ten.
It is called triage, it is a decision that sucks worse than any other and it is the only way to save as many lives as you can.
