In case you are not aware Army Col. Cyril Richard Rescorla was a an infantryman, declared a "battlefield legend" in the 1992 bestseller "We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young." (Ia Drang),
On 9/11 He drew up the evacuation plan. He hustled his colleagues at Morgan Stanley to safety. And then he apparently went back into the inferno to search for stragglers. He was the last man out of the south tower after the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, and no one seems to doubt that he would've been again if the skyscraper hadn't collapsed on him first.
