BUMP!!! Great story about a great soldier.
I had one of my men re-enlist the day after a time fuse went off in is hand. He had just gotten it out of the main charge when it went. One or two seconds the other way and he would have been blown to bits. This happened in 1972 in Vietnam.
Thanks Tennessean4Bush!

Ping for this brave soldier. Read it and weep, you ugly bastards. We're going to send him back just so he can come find you.
And people still want to screw with us. Guess they thought this soldier would cry for his mama and babble about his ticket home. "Typical American" et cetera.
It’s a Quagmire, I tell ya

Thanks for the ping Ronnie!
These kinds of things the liberal media and Hollywood just don’t want to understand - that soldier are great people of great hearts! Love them all. They are heroes without a doubt!
