Drich doesn't understand the role of empathy in our society. This is a perfect example of how we all benefit from humans having empathy even if someone like Drich does not have it himself.

You probably don't know their names, but 30 years ago, they saved Europe

Read the story again and click on the links in the story and watch the videos. Those three men were placed in the situation they were in, out of duty, honor, and loyalty not only to their country, but also to their profession the people they worked with and their families. Integrity and honor has men like this put themselves in harms way, not empathy. Are you so foolish to think these three men 'channeled' the feelings of all of europe and it demanded they make a one way trip?
If you do you do not understand/have any idea why people lay their lives down for others. A good man will die for what he believes period. If that same good man believes in his job, and knows the danger going in before he even accepts his job, then he will have made up his mind that he will give it life for what he does for the sake of the job and the safty of those he works with if his job requires it. Soldiers, firefighters, cops, body guards, life guards, really anyone  who has an element of risk associated with their profession. Even nuclear engineers.

Minimalist has a long thread called fucking cops, about what happens when someone has a responsibility to do something, yet lacks the empathy needed to really do it. Duty and honor mean little if someone doesn't care about the people their duty would have them help.
