  • lol i went to school with this guy he is a legend!!!

  • My compliments to him and those who trained him to think of his comrades. Under fire, staring death or the chance to escape before him, he chose to potentially sacrifice his life for his team. I always said a proper soldier should always defend those who cannot fight for themselves, but also those who will risk it all to save their comrades are worthy of the praise this man got. Bravo!

  • @DrDerpwerth Looks like this pr*ck has been removed - bl**dy good!

  • British or American, any soldier that does that is brave beyond words... the difference is America gives you an award that's been given to so many other solider for so much less... making your action (though equally incredible to your brothers around you) not as distinguished. Although many soldiers crazy enough to do it probably care little for a medal.

  • @TheJake1005 theydont deserve it no one does but an american would not have done this just saying

  • @lukewilliams010 Say that to the American soldiers who gave their lives in combat and say that to their families.

  • @TheJake1005 thats cus an american wouldnt do it becuase they are cowards

  • Whats wrong with american forces? No offence but there trained better that any other military. Exept israily commandos. They train our army special forces.

  • I wish Canada had a Marine Corps...

  • @TheJake1005 - that's true.

  • @DrDerpwerth shut up you brown cum stain.
