Best Answer

Whether or not saving the life of one man is worth risking the lives of eight other men is a matter of opinion. In the film, Saving Private Ryan, it was the opinion of some that the life of Private Ryan was made more valuable by the loss of his four older brothers. Military leadership decided to risk the lives of eight men in order to find Private Ryan and send him home to his mother. Other characters in the film debate on the worthiness of this goal. Tom Hanks character decides to do his duty and follow orders whether or not he agrees with the decision.
