That's the answer right there. This entire exercise was designed to show my unit how each person's perceptions shape their decisions...and to make us aware of that (most folks likely won't be) so that, when we are performing our duties, we can keep in mind that we are to be helping, regardless of what our personal bias' are.
Personally speaking, I would have set the scenario up differently (the rescue scenario is often dictated by the victim's ability to fend for themselves in a triage manner, for instance) but I didn't set the exercise up, I just participated in it.
