First of all I'd expect men on a military ship in the 23rd century to have a more realistic attitude about death than these jokers did. Secondly, after another guy dies, everyone hollers at Spock and McCoy gives him the "Where has your precious logic gotten us now?" bit. But it wasn't Spock's idea! They insisted on going out there, over his objections! What's really bad about that scene is that Spock takes responsibility for their stupid ass plan!
