Navy Lt. j.g. Bradley Pate (right) received a Bronze Star. Navy Lt. j.g. Bradley Pate thought he was finished. Taliban fighters had ambushed the convoy of his humanitarian-aid team in an Afghan mountain pass, wounding half of the 30-member group Nov. 2, 2006. Pate and the remaining team hunkered down that night, waiting for the next battle. As the sun rose, a mortar shell exploded in the middle of its encampment. Pinned down by rifle and mortar fire, Pate heard the screams of bleeding troops around him. Then he spotted a badly wounded Air Force captain lying in the open. Pate raced out and dragged the captain to relative safety next to an armored Humvee. Pate wrapped the captain's head with bandages while directing fire against enemy positions. A relief unit arrived later, allowing him to make it back to his base – and the rest of his team – alive. “They were hugging us. They didn't know if we were going to get out,” Pate recalled almost a year later. “It was definitely a good experience to have walked away from.” To honor Pate's service during his yearlong tour in Afghanistan – including his courage on that mountain – the military awarded him a Bronze Star. Pate received the medal in September in San Diego, where he now is stationed. He could hardly have envisioned a battle like the one in Dowlet Shah, northeast of Bagram Air Base, when he joined the Navy. But it's the kind of action sailors are seeing more frequently, now that the Navy is using up to 11,000 sailors at any given time for ground roles in the Middle East.

Are you here to make sure Clint behaves?

Those two words (clint and behaves) don't belong in the same sentence! LOL!
