Great post. Kinda reminds me of that scene in Saving Private Ryan when they came upon those bunkers and instead of attacking them wanted to go around but knew they couldn't because the next group of soldiers who came upon it would be slaughtered. They had a bad feeling about it, but did it anyway because that's their job.
