The thing that gets me is that everyone in that first wave of the invasion knew that there was a reasonably good chance that they were martyring themselves for the greater good. Not just accepting the typical dangers of entering a battle, but actually entering something that was almost like shooting fish in a barrel for the first ones involved. Does anyone know the survival and casualty rate of the first wave?
I just can't imagine my generation, or anyone younger, being that selfless (at least not in the West, and not in such great numbers - obviously some people still volunteer for these things).
