true

but to what end?

voluntarily risking one's neck for the purposes of national security or to protect the innocent or to provide for the betterment of mankind etc

thats one thing

but what about voluntarily risking one's neck for the sake of seeing their name in lights? or winning a $50,000 purse to spend on a sports car?

motivation says a lot about the intent and about the sort of "character" the indivudual will be building too
