Actually you do but you have to listen carefully. During the Draguignan's last year flood, the french navy helicopter pilots (who had been in the area for an air show) did no less than 800 rotations, saving undreds of peoples from the flood. Not to mention the soldiers at Chernobyl, Fukushima, New Orleans... Those who jumped over Kolwezi in 1966, 1978 and more recently... Those German soldiers of the Afrikakorps who had protected Jews in Tunisia... Those US troopers who sacrificed their chocolate as they were advancing through the villages of France, Belgium... Those hundreds of thousand of soldiers which have served under UN mandate all over the world... (The list is so long it would never ends, hopefully).
