In October 25, 2007, a U.S. Army specialist in Afghanistan braved enemy fire in an attempt to save a fellow soldier who had been wounded in an ambush. An insurgent bullet struck his armored chest plate, knocking him down. He got up and rushed back into enemy fire to retrieve his fallen comrade. He threw several hand grenades toward the enemy, and was able to grab his colleague and immediately begin first aid. Though the man he'd risked his life for later died from the wounds, his heroic actions didn't go unnoticed. Army Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta, received the medal of honor on November 16, 2010 from the White House for his valiant actions in attempting to save his fellow soldier.
But you won't hear much about this real life hero in the media or in Hollywood. Chances are, you didn't even know his name. But you probably do know the names John Gotti, Whitey Bulger, D.B. Cooper, Julian Assange. You've no doubt heard of the "Barefoot Bandit."

Too individualistic.
The media are communists.
They are about state power, and citizen conformity.
They aren’t Anti-Hero nearly as much as they are Anti-Ameircan.
That’s the real issue with this IMO.
The Left/Red Media loath the Military, but to the Clinton and 0bama are true Heros
Let us not forget that one can simply fake their military exploits and be elected senator after he gigolos to rich bimbos.
Key Kerry, how’s your “injured” butt?
No need to mention the party, is there?
Tiny genitalia.

Sorry about my “Obama moment” with that misspelling of “two”.
My teleprompter was on the fritz.
To the leftist the whole world is politics, because success in politics equals money & power.
Politics are at the root of every thought they have. Nothing matters that doesn't compliment their political point of view.
Progressives do not believe in evil and so it follows they do not believe in virtue either.
