Honor and Courage, the U.S Soldier

[willy]

My friends this is what honor and courage look like, read and enjoy the link at the end

The story is
>about Channing Moss, who was impaled by a live RPG during a Taliban ambush while
>on patrol. Army protocol says that medivac choppers are never to carry anyone with
>a live round in him. Even though they feared it could explode, the flight crew said
>damn the protocol and flew him to the nearest aid station. Again, protocol said
>that in such a case the patient is to be put in a sandbagged area away from the
>surgical unit, given a shot of morphine and left to wait (and die) until others
>are treated. Again, the medical team ignored the protocol. Here's a short video
>put together by the Military Times, which includes actual footage of the surgery
>where Dr. John Oh, a Korean immigrant who became a naturalized citizen and went
>to West Point , removed the live round with the help of volunteers and a member
>of the EOD (explosive ordinance disposal) team. Moss has undergone six operations
>but is doing well at home in Gainesville , GA. I think you'll find the video absolutely
>remarkable.
