I would imagine terms like "charity" and "selfless act" have no meaning
to you.


What was "in it" for Michael A. Monsoor when he threw himself on a grenade
to save his comrades?


People who believe the sentiment expressed by the poster you have
answered have no feeling whatsoever for the acts of people like Monsoor.
To them, all that exists is the search for an ulterior motive which they
either assume or create.

IIRC, the original act that MX questioned was somebody saying, "go
**** yourself". Not exactly on par with somebody throwing themselves
on a grenade.
