I believe that in SAR scenarios one cannot not pick and choose which incidents should be prosecuted as far as possible. Who gets the right to play god/allah/jehovah etc? It just goes with the territory and so long as the lives of those carrying out the mission are not put in danger, then that's what they are there for. Those very operators would probably agree 100% with that.
On a smaller scale it's no different to mountain rescue teams around the world picking ramblers and mountaineers off the hills..
