If you were a Marine that is good...
If you were in combat that is better...
If you were wounded that is even better...
If you were killed, thats the best???

That's the pecking order for guys who you prefer not following or leading into combat.
George Patton once said, and I will paraphrase: "I don't' want you guys dying for your country, I want the other guys dying for theirs!"
To all fellow Marines, I apologize for using an Army analogy to answer this question. Semper Fi

Nobody ever won a war by dying for their country. You win wars making the other poor bastard die for his. - George S. Patton
