A soldier would be foolish to risk his life in a situation where you cannot tell the civilian from the enemy. There is no way I would have risked my life when I served in hopes of winning a medal. I would always take care of myself first, and nature gives the instincts to a person to accomplish just that. I wouldn't go into a ditch to avoid hitting an animal and I would'nt receive fire and not respond, no matter what the situation.
