This crusade dishonours all those who have fought and died in the armed services. Most of us joined because we wished to SERVE queen and country. We all pledged to do so on day one. If that means operating outside of civilian standards, using our own judgement as to what is acceptable risk for the task at hand, accepting that sometimes there are greater needs than the self then that's what we joined up for and took pride in being part of. It's what separates servicemen from the civilian population.
