The man seen here has been identified as a young US Army soldier. The Daily Mail writes “Matthew Cobos was photographed on Sunday night lying on top of a young woman in an attempt to shield her from the barrage of bullets tearing through the air around them.”

And those pussy football players think THEY are brave for kneeling.

This soldier proves that there is still hope for us yet.

WELL DONE young man!

And that sir was the reason for the massacre. Another demented leftist targeting “deplorables.”

Next time one of those NFL morons kneels they should put up pictures like this on the big screen while the national anthem is playing.

Was the woman shot or injured (trampled)? The picture I saw has what looks like people standing around in the background. Was the shooting over by then?

I would hope that President Trump would honor the heroism of this young man.

This is the behavior our young people should emulate. There is no greater love.
