While soldiers and their leaders need to be aware of the dangers involved in a mission and mitigate those within their sphere of control, mission completion comes first. You may not want to assault the well defended machine gun bunker, but if its standing between you and the OBJ with no way around it, by God you do what you have to to get the job done.

Ah so. I knew of the logo, wasn't sure of the relationship to the topic. Thanks for claifying. I'm not sure I agree, but it doesn't really matter. Another example on those lines would be the "no pursuit" rules for high speed chases? I can imagine the response if I was told to "Break it off, we'll get him another day." LOL.
I think the main point is each organization is different and very little good can come from crossing lines. IMO, the military doesn't do a good job when we are asked to police either. I have first hand knowledge of that little tidbit.
