Was it wise to send a rescue party ?

[Nemises]

Seeing at that they ended up losing 3 times more people (and more injured) than they were supposed to rescue ?

Id say that that mission wasn't successful at all.

Tj is the only one with medical experience. The doctor is more important cosidering they are stranded in the middle of nowhere

they could always use the stones to get someone in.

besides risking the lives of atleast a dozen people for her doesn't make sense.

As already said TJ is a valuable resource, further if one wants to be particularly brutal, they only lost Lucian Alliance people. Finally even if it wasn't TJ that was captured, it would have been very bad for morale not to make some kind of rescue.

The stones have shown to be unreliable for long term communication

It does from a morale standpoint. Not attempting a rescue, very bad, people start questioning orders, thinking if "they're worthless, am I? Should I bother doing my job then?" Then the whole crew falls into chaos...

6 redshirts are worth less than their only medical officer.

No they can't. Remember that one time where the stones got disrupted in the middle of a surgery or the time they lost contact with Earth completely?

Actually, I think one or two soldiers died too.

We don't leave our people behind, remember that!

The stones could malfunction, I mean they are pretty damn old. Or Earth could get destryed. They did the same for Daniel in SG-1 and for Teyla in SGA. It's pretty much established that we don't leave our people behind.

Of course not. Clearly the rule in Homeworld Command is rescue our people regardless of how many rescuers die in the process!

[KEK]

Probably not, but this is Young we're talking about, so what do you expect?

[Gollumpus]

Well, they don't go into the mission with the thought of losing more people...

Wise in a numbers game.. no. BUT many instances of the military have shown we sacrificed more to save few.. Its just how we are wired.
Plus that would lose us our chief medic if we left them.

Finally even if it wasn't TJ that was captured, it would have been very bad for morale not to make some kind of rescue.

That imo is the biggest factor. If you DONT make efforts to get the people back, others start to wonder wh should they be out there, when they might be in the same boat someday.

^this

it has been a rule since sg-1 that if it is possible to save someone they do it.

[KEK]

Yes, but they're going for realism in SGU.
