Jochem i think you are dipping a little too much into your personal stash :) Any who fights a war should be prepared to DIE when if you go into combat. I mean i'm sure you expect to win but you have to realize there is the chance you get killed by any of the hundreds of different things that could happen. I am sure there are plenty who wouldn't want to be a POW its probably not the best thing to be.
