I think it depends on what the risks, the situation, what the potential outcome is, and whoever you are asking and their morals. If you are in war and 50 old people, like in their 90s, are captured and the risks are you losing 10 out of the 30 men to get them, than that is not a good risk to take, not to be heartless or anything.
This would be an example of epic simile. An epic simile is a long, detailed comparison that Homer (the author of the Iliad) is known for. Achilles is compared to a hound and Hector is compared to a fawn, and this comparison goes on for several lines rather than just ending there. Homer made many of these epic similes and they added to the overall tone of the story. Hope this helps.
