I've seen a few people on here mention that they've been members of the military so I'd like to ask your help. US or some western country would both work, it's a modern setting.
At the moment, my story has reached a situation where three people have escaped a hostage situation in a civil war zone: A soldier who has been on an observer mission, a male aid worker from his country and a young woman. She is from a country the others are on relatively bad terms with but they grew close during their captivity and she saved them once during the cause of their escape. At the point where I'm now, she's also seriously ill (non-contagious) and would definitely hinder the group. Without competent help, her death is a likely outcome and it's unlikely that they find such help.
Would the soldier feel obliged/be expected to save her despite of this or would he leave her behind to improve his own and his country man's chances?
