Just finished watching "Behind Enemy Lines", find it quite interesting cos it is able to let me sit in front of my tv watching it. Though some of the camera shots, I kind of find it unecessary if it is deliberately done so. But if it is bcos the cameraman couldn't hold his camera properly, then hmm...the makers...sort of didn't do too well for the show sia!
Anyway, in the show the Commanding Officer, who insisted to save the man despite attempts to cancel the rescue from someone his superior (i think). He at the last moment, decided to lead a team to save the man despite that he will lose his commanding position. I think if it was me, I would have done the same as the CO, firstly it is unethical for me to leave someone to die, secondly rules are meant to be broken, we shouldn't denied it!
I think breaking some rules in the process of getting something good out of it (not for selfish reasons lah), is suppose to be a better thing. If you are to blindly follow the rules, you are only considered a good follower, but if you can decide whether to break the rules for a better good, you a good leader.
