In any case, ask the participants of these events and most say they did "it' to save a buddy, they're deep into Maslow's hieracrchy of needs when they do their so-called heroics. Valor has nothing to do with it.

In fact, calling their actions valorous is what people that want a militaristic society do to convince the gullible that these acts are greatness, instead of the bloody acts they truly are.
