I have no idea how large a platoon is anyway.
~50 soldiers
40. 3 squads of 13, which include a squad leader and 3 fireteam leaders, a platoon officer, and a platoon sergeant (example of a platoon sergeant would be Chief Williams, the enlisted member who advises the officer on tactical decisions)
I tried to put myself in this situation...would I save 40 of my actual fellow Marines, or would I save my actual girlfriend.
I'm sorry, but with my experience in the Marine Corps and how awful it was, I would chose my girlfriend anyday. I don't care about them, they probably never did anything for me, and I was a "runt" Marine (a tiny Devil). I never got anything but insults and hazing from other Marines while I was in.
My Shepard wasn't hazed like I was. But I still wouldn't leave the one woman I've ever loved behind. Me in real life...I'd pick my girl over my best friend. That's just the way it is.
Then I'd go out and kill ever single bastard I could find that was even indirectly linked to my best friend dying
