Devil's advocate here illustrating a greater point about the human condition. What did any of these guys have to gain from taking a bullet for their girlfriend?

It's called being selfless. Good grief, not everyone does something for gain.

Agreed.
I couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the Veteran who threw himself over his children and survived despite being shot because the perps gun jammed. How frustrating to serve two tours only to come back and be shot in a movie theater. That selflessness helped him make the only appropriate decision.

What did these guys have to gain???
How about that their loved ones would not be hurt???
Once again, my post was taken the wrong way. There are some who claim to act solely on logic and do everything they can to suppress their emotions. We wouldn't be inspired by people who only acted out of their own self interests or rational thought in a situation like this. What purpose does selflessness to the point of death serve if life had no greater meaning? Thread jack over. Don't want to gt over philosophical/quasi religious on folks who don't care about what I have to say.

There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends.
