[ WP ] Ethics are for those who fear failure and need an honorable reason to retreat

`` Just fucking do it, you pussy.'' 
 
 The medic inhaled deeply. He did n't let it out. 
 
 `` Jesus fucking Christ, you ca n't do it. Can you?'' 
 
 The exhale finally came. 
 
 `` Fuckin' hell, Needles. Never figured you for such a bitch.'' 
 
 `` What about Rosarita? What about the kids?'' 
 
 `` Fuck'em. They'll be better off.'' 
 
 `` How can you say that?'' 
 
 The Sergeant glared at him. `` No, Needles. How can ***you*** fucking say that. How can you look me in the fucking eyes, and tell me they'll be better off if you do n't.'' 
 
 `` They would n't want this, Sarge.'' 
 
 `` I did n't say they would, I said they'd be better off.'' 
 
 `` But it's not right.'' 
 
 `` Fuck right. Ethics are for pussies who want to pussy out without feeling like a pussy.'' 
 
 The medic looked down on his squad leader. The explosion had ripped both of his legs off as well as his right arm below the elbow. 
 
 `` I stopped the bleeding, and medivac will be here in two. We can still save you.'' 
 
 `` Needles... I swear to God, if you let them save my life. If you force me to live as a fucking invalid. To force my wife and my kids to have to spend their entire lives caring for me and changing out my fucking bed pans. I will never forgive you.'' 
 
 The medic inhaled deeply, and pulled the Sergeant's pistol out of its holster and put it to the Sergeant's chest. He looked back to the three other soldiers in the room. They were all quiet, but each nodded in assent. 
 
 `` Not in the chest, in the face. I do n't want fucking Rose pulling any open casket shit on my mangled body.'' The medic solemnly raised the gun's tip until it was right between the Sergeant's eyes. `` Do n't pussy out on me, Jim.'' 
 
 The medic pulled the trigger.
