Our ethical position is that we will take every step we can alongside the people we cover in combat, but never ask them to take a step for us, or to take us somewhere they would not go on their own. If they were to get hurt doing something we asked them to do, it would weigh on us personally forever. Chris and I follow this code. We believe in it and do not deviate from it.
