I mean that's cool, but damn that had to be a scary ass ride. Like chopper evac, but scarier

I can't imagine there's much worse than being injured and trapped in a cold wet field in No Man's Land. Makes me think of the guys in WWI who got trapped in bomb craters between the lines, stuck there for hours if not days before finally getting killed by some shell.

Absolutely. But to be fair, in that kind of situation the benefits outweigh the risks
