Don't wear yourself out trying to appease coworkers who would let you die

Look man- there’s a huge difference between asking someone to put extra hours in or hustle for a deadline or work harder- and asking them to get frost bite and maybe loose a hand or put themselves in potential risk of death for you. If the way you view reciprocity is: “why should I get this done before the meeting for them when they wouldn’t even be willing. To lose a few fingers for me?” You have a messed up world view. If you think coworkers are disloyal so you shouldn’t bust ass for them- Game theory. YOURE that person. If everyone thinks that way it becomes true. Don’t be part of the problem. Be part of the solution.

No one gets left behind

Hence that sub set of beyond average people who WILL risk there lives for a stranger. Not everyone has that in them- if everyone did, we wouldn’t see anything so special about it. But those who have or actively are serving are a minority of the population. Most people want to avoid the danger, or they see better opportunities for THEM to get what THEY want by using 4 years on something else. They’ll advance their careers or their dreams while other people die for them, and likely never think about what they could do in return. So most people will put themselves first. Some won’t. I’d like to see less disrespect for those like yourself who give up a piece of their lives asking how they can use it for something more than themselves.
