As we sit here in our underwear every morning with a mug of hot joe in one hand and Obama the office cat purring at our feet, it’s absolutely impossible for us to comprehend what it takes to be a soldier in Afghanistan.
The Daily Mail UK tells a tale of incredible toughness:
A brave British soldier who was shot in the face by the Taliban spat out the bullet – then walked nearly two miles for treatment before being rushed home for an emergency operation.
Lance Corporal Luke Reeson, 22, was on patrol in Nad-e-Ali in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan when the insurgent’s bullet hit his Osprey body armour.
But the bullet ricocheted off , smashing into his lower cheek and back out through his mouth.
Despite the bullet shattering his jaw, Lance Corporal Reeson from Torquay in Devon, managed to walk three kilometres with his injury to get medical aid.
The soldier, who was shot in May while serving with the 1 Duke of Lancashire Regiment, Somme Company, has now returned to active duty in Afghanistan.
Lance Corporal Reeson, we salute you, you tough son of a bitch.

and I don't believe this story. We've always been told by the media, so obviously it's true, America doesn't have any allies in
the War on Terrorthis war of aggression against peace loving Muslims everywhere.I am glad this hombre is on our side. I hope he sires many male children to propagate those genes.
Kudos from the colonies, sir.
Uhm... I am sure that girls will have the ability to propagate these same genes you are speaking of just fine as well.
"yep, you won’t catch me bullying people in real life, not like a ‘tough guy’ who goes around making people feel shit"
See you freely admit the only place you bully anyone is online . Glad to see you agree with my analysis. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.
for now, but i'll remember to dedicate a kid to you when i finally snap, cheery-bye!!
shame the bullet didn't go through this twat's brain, he wouldn't spit anything ever again then.
Envious much? That is alright not everyone can be brave, but your commentary makes you sir what a person calls an aS*h*le. I would like to see you in a war zone and leave you there for five minutes, you would last just one.
Point of order - since the soldier is British and male, the proper linguistic term is TWIT, not twat.On the other hand, a hate spewing faggot Libtard pussy like yourself, james, would correctly be labeled a TWAT. You see the difference?
Real men might sometimes erroneously be labeled twits, but homos like you may be correctly labeled twats ( because they wish they had one instead of a "pair") . If you're gonna flame ( you flaming faggot) at least use the right terms. Sheesh !!
Now go cry on your boyfriends shoulder. Call again if you want another spanking.
Note: the above exagerated comments are not meant as an indictment against "homophiles" in general but are rather a spanking for a specific
"heterophobe" poster.
You said it perfectly. And, they said the Navy didn't have a way with words. Ha.(post by Navy brat born in Balboa Hospital)
ahh, always comes back to the gays, sure sign you want a big guy to shoot his load in your mouth and you're just to goddam proud to tell mommy.
TWAT did you say?
tell me, how many 'foe' did we kill today, oh, my mistake, that number never crops up on the 'news' now does it. killers = twats, no matter what religion/colour.
"tell me, how many ‘foe’ did we kill today, oh, my mistake, that number never crops up on the ‘news’ now does it. killers = twats, no matter what religion/colour."
Standard BS from lily-livered, chicken-sh*t cretins.
No secrets here, James. I believe one story I read said a missile strike killed 12 of the terrorist rat bastards. That much closer to a clean Afghanistan.
"How many 'foe' did we kill today?" Not nearly enough. The idiotic rules of engagement won't allow it.
Carefull now...James is one of those internet tough guys who hasn't the cojones to say anyting like that to someone's face. He likes to hide behind his safe computer screen and probably still lives with mommy.
No problemo. I only send out a flame when I find appropriate FOOL for the fire. :-)
As to the feeble attempts at retaliation, missed by a mile.
yep, you won't catch me bullying people in real life, not like a 'tough guy' who goes around making people feel shit
James, are You late for work at pmsnbc? Hurry along now!
Ahhh, the voice of the peaceful left.
yikes, don't think i can cope with being called peaceful, truly hurt to the core
I was wondering how far down in the comments I would have to go to find somebody low enough to insult this man. And here he is, lower than could ever be imagined, James.
To Corporal Reeson, all I can say is that I hope I can meet such a man someday, and shake his hand, buy him whatever he's drinking. My apologies for the fact that James is still alive.
Uhm... he returned within two months?! What's his number? I want it.
holy sh*t
Sad. Our Obama isn't good enough to hold this guy's spit-can.
Amen brother Thallus
Oh you got that right.
God, please bless this fellow. Please bless all the soldiers serving in this war against terrorists.
"God, please bless this fellow. Please bless all the soldiers serving in this war against terrorists."
Especially our snipers!
This is THE guy you don't want to mess with. He should get the Man of the Year award.
You make us so proud...keep up the great work Lance Corporal Reeson!
