@vickiormindyb The Warrior Ethos is something that we live by. It is a belief and how we manage through the day. It is not an oxymoron if you actually look at the definition of Ethos.
We did an exercise while I was doing ROTC in which there were 8 pictures of "famous" people on the screen and we were told to write down as many as we recognized. They were (in order) Tom Brady, The cast of Jersey Shore, Spongebob, Harrison Ford, Bill Gates, Steven Tyler, Mark Zuckerberg, and SSGT Giunta. Everybody in the class got the first 7 right, but nobody recognized the 8th. It was meant to be an eye opener to show how we as a nation don't honor those who truly deserve it. Sad.
You all need to stfu about god and this BS so they said a prayer he's most likely a Christian or something like that just honer this guy and his heroic actions
@vickiormindyb A tracer is a special round that when fired lights up and allows you to trace it to the target. usually every third or fifth round in a clip is a tracer.
War is horrid w/o a doubt. They are never won but only settled. It's only people fighting people for what they believe in... right or wrong is only a matter of which side of the field you're on. BUT, human selflessness and sacrifice is universal. And to knowingly choose to give your life if it means you can save another is more honorable and noble than anything I can imagine. I don't support the war but I admire anyone, who when faced with the gravest of choices, finds it inside to be a hero.
I can't believe those fools even know HOW to fight a war.
The ones who are doing it for their "religion."
Their God is a violent God too.
MY God is NOT violent, but it's also not the god of Abraham or whoever Jesus descended from. But, for the record, Jesus said "Pray for those who persecute you," except praying for someone while they're filling you w/ bullets is just about the dumbest thing I can imagine.
Salvatore is not a hero ... Salvatore served with certainty in the company of heroes ... Your friends in combat, are present at the medal. Greetings from Portugal
This man is a true hero.His actions were extraordinary and he truly earned the medal of honor rightfully. I'm so honored to have soldiers like this guy serving my country!
@Smitty150 If you look at 02:31 in the video, you can plainly see Giunta's family in the middle of the front row. You can plainly see the politicians on the left front row, former medal winners on the right front row and the family in the middle front row. The audiance is seated in a flat V formation. I am a conservative, but don't believe everything your're told in a widely-circulated e-mail.
@p169inspfilms "former medal winners" Please, these are not winners like they were a game show contestant. They are recipients. They are not "former" either, they were never stripped of this prestigious honor. I don't know if you meant offense or not but I know if I had been bestowed the the nations highest honor I would be offended if you called me a "winner". Just something to keep in mind.
I think it's rare a soldier bestowed with the Medal of Honor receive it in person.
Obviously Obama is very happy with that and all the people inside that room. The guy is so humble and shy , he was looking for a hole to disappear in it haha
In Brazil it's the 'Grão-Mestre da Ordem do Mérito da Defesa', very rare to be awarded cuz Brazil is a pacific country, no wars since WWII. Our war hero is Sgt Max Wolff, read about him on Wikipedia. He was honoured with The Bronze Star by US Army too.
It's all about Obama. "Let's give Sal".....forgive me but that breaks with tradition...nothing is serious to this guy....He breaks tradition right and left snickering because he knows he's doing it. He and his wife both hate American traditions and values. Can you imagine George Washington calling a soldier "sal" instead of his full name while presenting him with the highest military decoration given by U.S.? Where did we get this Obama guy and what gene pool was he created with?
@klg1956 with all due respect, I find it disrespectful to Salvadore Giunta to use something like this to make a political point, i'm not saying you are wrong, i'm just asking out of respect for Sergeant Guinta you say these htings elsewhere.
true story... The East part of the D.R.Congo it has been invaded by the
government of Rwanda and promoted by the American and European governments because of our minerals (Coltan, gas methane etc)... so far 8000.000 Congolese's have been killed!!! all your handsets meaning cell phones, computers and new technology are the Congolese blood!!! NB: 80% of the cell phone contains coltan from Congo.
This is awesome and I'm sure Sal is a great guy I just have one question, what's up with the prayer at the beginning and end of the ceremony, is that by request of the recipient or is it done like that all the time?
@AHARRIS5150 You are absolutely correct. There is a difference between murder and killing. Murder is the killing of innocents. Killing is justifiable in defense of others, such as in war and by police.
The Bush Administration kills many soldiers, we love you Mr. President Obama as President, how many soldiers do you draw the line of fire, their families will please
Congratulations soldier, always the courage, strength, fight for your country and win medals always the best because the United States is our country, we will fight to death
The Flag of the United States consists of 13 horizontal stripes, the colors are red (which cover the top and bottom of the flag) alternating with white. There is a blue rectangle in the upper left corner, with 50 small white stars. Each of these stars symbolizes a state of the country, and each of the horizontal stripes is one of the old Thirteen Colonies. Red symbolizes strength and valor, white symbolizes purity and innocence and blue represents vigilance, perseverance and justice
The best soldier, and always will be Sergeant Salvatore Giunta, soldier of soldiers, the United States has the best are the best in the world, fighting pests with Afghanistan, Kuwait, and never lost the war!
United States of America, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Forces, U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard and Marine
@btrballin Idiot, show respect. Believe it or not, call of duty has a meaning other than a bunch of shit faced 10 year olds pretending to shoot each other in a video game.
He saved the lives of two american soldiers with complete disregard for his own safety and well being If that doesn't make him a hero I do not know what does

NOT A HERO Example: a real hero a solder is walking by a fox whole, all the men are busy fighting, the man walking by sees a grandee thrown in and the men in the fox whole don't see the grenade . So the man walking buy jumps in to the fox hole and throws his body on it. What makes him a hero is that he did not have to go into the fox whole, his life was not in danger. that's what makes him a hero is he put his life at stake for others. THIS MAN SAVED HIS OWN LIFE. he is not a hero.
@shelby11211 Listen ass-fucker, he went to save his friend's life after his frined was captured and he did so successfully. He went back and saved his friend the most selfless thing I could have possibly heard of. So watch the whole video and listen on shut up

@shelby11211 he ran into a wall of bullets straight towards the enemy TWICE to pull out 2 of his fellow soldiers out of enemy fire. he could have just stayed at cover but he didnt.
If it wasn't for men like this, the world would've taken advantage of us. We would be under British rule, speaking German or living under Communist dictatorship.
Soldiers who are awarded the Medal of Honor or any other medal they always never consider themselves heros and consider the men/women who have died the true soldiers. This truely shows how our generation of soldiers and past generations are truely the ebst of the ebst and I'm proud to say that one day I pray I can serve my country as brave and heroic as Staff Sergeant. Salvatore Giunta did.
This guy doesn't consider himself a hero he considers everyone who have served or are serving to be heroes both recipients or not of the Medal Of Honor Heroes past or present.
@Code1322 That he does not consider himself a hero is a mark of a true hero. Like most real heroes, he has the quality of humility. It's something many so-called "heroes" of the sports and music worlds lack.
@Gazzara5 That it is... that it is. We need more people like him in the world what i meant is that in an interview someone did with him he sated that he thinks he didn't really deserve the medal and that he only wears it because they gave it to him... the quality of a hero and it is something that some people lack in the world.
@MultiASSKICKER101 WOW WOW WOW WOW WAIT WAIT WAIT HOLD UP A SECOND THEIR CHEIF.....what you meant to say was "persons with political ideological and religious differences" You know you cant say that when democrats are around. They don't believe in free speech. I will let you go this time ;)
that man is a true hero and though I am not American i am proud of both his selfless act of bravery, unwavering courage and the United states Army, his brothers/sisters in arms.
I salute Staff Sergeant Salvatore Giunta and all previous recipients of the Medal of Honor and all those who have given all in the service of this nation.
I live in Sweden, but I was born and I grew up in Bosnia. I will ALWAYS remember what America, US army and the US Navy did for us during the Balkan war.
Your soldiers honor us, and I salute Staff Sergeant Salvatore Gunta, and all the men and women serving around the world. You DO make a difference.

@Ali3970 well. becasue of my Asthma they delayed me for a year and they want to send me in about a year or so. Got to love the military. I got the waivors and such but they wont just let me go yet. They still running medical backround checks and stuff like that. I'm not certain what month and day they want to send me but they have alot of there hands and i am pretty calm about it. I understand why they delayed by entry. But I'm in no hurry to die right now. But i hopethe best luck to you

Example: a real hero a solder is walking by a fox whole, all the men are busy fighting, the man walking by sees a grandee thrown in and the men in the fox whole don't see the grenade . So the man walking buy jumps in to the fox hole and throws his body on it. What makes him a hero is that he did not have to go into the fox whole, his life was not in danger. that's what makes him a hero is he put his life at stake for others. THIS MAN SAVED HIS OWN LIFE. he is not a hero.

@shelby11211 he ran into a wall of bullets straight towards the enemy TWICE to pull out 2 of his fellow soldiers out of enemy fire. he could have just stayed at cover but he didnt.

If it wasn't for men like this, the world would've taken advantage of us. We would be under British rule, speaking German or living under Communist dictatorship.

The media should have covered this extensively. Unfortunately, the media would rather pay more attention to the red carpet at the Academy Awards.

Soldiers who are awarded the Medal of Honor or any other medal they always never consider themselves heros and consider the men/women who have died the true soldiers. This truely shows how our generation of soldiers and past generations are truely the ebst of the ebst and I'm proud to say that one day I pray I can serve my country as brave and heroic as Staff Sergeant. Salvatore Giunta did.

This guy doesn't consider himself a hero he considers everyone who have served or are serving to be heroes both recipients or not of the Medal Of Honor Heroes past or present.

@Code1322 That he does not consider himself a hero is a mark of a true hero. Like most real heroes, he has the quality of humility. It's something many so-called "heroes" of the sports and music worlds lack.

@Gazzara5 That it is... that it is. We need more people like him in the world what i meant is that in an interview someone did with him he sated that he thinks he didn't really deserve the medal and that he only wears it because they gave it to him... the quality of a hero and it is something that some people lack in the world.

You can really see him shine when he recieves the medal.

I live in Sweden, but I was born and I grew up in Bosnia. I will ALWAYS remember what America, US army and the US Navy did for us during the Balkan war.
Your soldiers honor us, and I salute Staff Sergeant Salvatore Gunta, and all the men and women serving around the world. You DO make a difference.
God bless you all.

I understand why they delayed by entry. But I'm in no hurry to die right now. But i hopethe best luck to you
