It is the job of a Royal Marine to fight, and if necessary suffer and die, for his country.

What good would any of their deaths have done? Start a war?

""The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his." - Patton" Yeah, but Patton knew that you're not going to make the "other bastard" die if you're not willing to fight him. George Patton's great military leadership has been supplanted by a woman-like, liberal mentality, "don't let anybody die if you don't have to, and always ask yourself before you engage in battle, 'what will the world think'?".

You think Patton would have let Iranians take him without firing a shot?
Patton took the offensive. Patton made the the other poor bastard die first.
So much for “Royal Marines”.
