#5: Going Back for His Brothers
It’s hard to imagine how anyone would act in the chaotic landscape of a battlefield, where the line between right and wring is blurred and people’s values are put to the test. One person decided to disobey a direct order and follow his instinct to go back and rescue wounded soldiers, and ended up saving 36 lives.
He may have put his life at risk, but there’s no doubt he did the right thing. Despite disobeying orders, Sgt. Dakota Meyer later received a medal of honor for his heroic actions. In the context of battle, it’s good to know you have people like that to rely on; people who know the meaning of camaraderie.
