Staff sergeant who fought off 200 Taliban fighters despite being unable to WALK in deadly battle that killed nine of his comrades to be awarded Medal of Honor. This guy rocks! You want the definition of a MAN ? THIS GUY IS IT! An IHTM 21 gun salute!

And we were worried about the well being ofa man who up and walked off his post? its like we are in reversal land.
And we still have a Marine in jail in Mexico for making a wrong turn!
That's because prezzy va jay jay sees zero political gain in getting our Marine back. Nice.....
It's called Bizarro World...where talentless fools are the envy of the population...while those with honor, loyalty and integrity are invisible.
Hell with a medal. Get that man a wheelbarrow so he can carry his balls around comfortably.
Airborne!
Dang Red, been a lot of years since I did jump school.
Decided to check the prices for civilian jumps, and realized just how lucky I was to have Uncle Sam paying me to do it. Plus, I'm not so sure I like the idea of being the "drop bag" for the guy actually wearing the 'chute.
How come we don't have MEN like this running the country??
How come there aren't men like that around me so I can grab one for myself...? I bet he is happily married... they are always happily married to some lucky woman that is not me... :-/
Go hang out around FT. Bragg N.Carolina KQ. :)
I'm unsure how old this family portrait is:

I here bye render as sharp a hand salute as I can muster. Well done soldier!!!!!
Well its nice to see the loather of the military is back. Cowardly approach as usual. For the TDer, by all means exercise your right to disagree. Yet have the courage to state why.
Maybe if you took the time to read this MAN's story, you might understand why many here do in fact appreciate and are grateful for his actions and internal fortitude.
Attention there is a true SOLIDER in the room.
As for quagmire and the wookie, let them observe a true and humble man who stood up for his comrades and did his job and did it to the utter most of his ability.
Down side is having mom jeans pin the medal on this trooper. Insult to injury will have the first wookie on hand to look down her nose on whole ceremony.
Come on! You don't think that job could have been done by a man who thinks he's a woman, wants to be called "Chelsea," and wears a wig and a pink tutu?
Seriously, though: Damn! That there dude has Super Soldier Serum in his veins!
To the first part of your post, HELL NO!!!
To the second part, HELL YEA!
