If these guys had been there, watching a home burn down and not budging while they could have saved it, then it's their personal responsability that's engaged. Sometimes in life you have to show initiative. "Just following orders" is a copout in a situation like that, as shown by the media attention it got. And there are certain professions that engage people's responsabilities more than others. That's why they're considered "noble" and why people doing them are honored. It's a vocation, like being a doctor or a cop, not just something you do because it pays well.
Yeah, I get that. I'm just saying if they were to hypothetically just stand there and watch that house burn and their boss specifically told them not to help the guy while they are standing there.. then they were just following orders - regardless of the noble stuff. I don't know what all firefighters sign as far as their responsibilities when they get that job but if what you mentioned is true then the boss was completely wrong and he didn't follow the rules, which could have been easily called out then they could of done their duties. And it didn't make sense to discipline the firefighters, in that regard. But this is hypothetical since they were not just standing there as I originally interrupted that article.
Aazealh said:Well I think you're harsh with them. I hope something like that never happens to you or someone you know. And if it does I'm sure you'll keep the same attitude.
Yeah, that was too harsh and uncalled for. I regret saying that.
