Asked about his actions, Pte Stephens said: ‘My muckers were getting shot at and I thought “I’m not having that”.’

In a global war, ID of home details can result in a dead mother or raped sister. Specificity should be shunned

Love it!

I wonder, though, if Obams will say the soldier “acted stupidly”.

Thanks naturalman1975.
...he leapt unarmed from his Warrior armoured vehicle, dragged the insurgent from his motorcycle and laid into him with his fists... It was only afterwards that the full significance of his heroics became clear. His prey turned out to be the highest-ranking Taliban captured by regular British forces in Afghanistan, a long-wanted bomb-making expert.
File under, "this is how to fight a war."

Good show, Pvt Stephens!

I love a happy ending. May have been happier if the turkey was shot escaping. :-)

Thanks for the ping, Lancey.

yup. That’s why I said that they’re people who are in the muck. Actually, if they’re fellow muckers, they’re your friends. : )
