I want to tell you about Private Stephen Tschiderer, a 20-year-old Army medic of the 265th Brigade Combat team. While on patrol in Baghdad on July 2, insurgent snipers stalked the soldier by videotaping him from a nearby van. This footage would later prove Tschiderer's valor.
Within seconds of walking away from his Hummer, he was shot in the chest above the heart. Tschiderer goes down — but immediately pops back up, fires back, and runs back behind the Hummer. From behind the Hummer, he signals the snipers' hiding spot to his unit.
The 265th disabled the insurgents — including the sniper, who attempted to flee from the location on foot. Following a blood trail, U.S. soldiers located the wounded sniper and took him into custody.
While this is an amazing story on its own, after being shot by the sniper, Tschiderer acted like a true American by providing the man who had just tried to kill him with medical treatment.
Tschiderer wrote in an email to his mom back at home: "Treating the man who shot me didn't really sink in until after. At the time, I just did my job and didn't think about it too much."
This is another example of the type of story the media needs to keep talking about — the selfless heroism of the American servicemen and women.

The film was incredible. BTT.
"The film was incredible. BTT."
You got that right - and the blathering from the snipers - praying to allah that they had killed this soldier - the chanting gives way to horror as they realize that they are about to die.
Because the Leftist media thinks chowderheads who can't follow a convoy without getting lost and falling into enemy hands are "heroes." The troops who actually do their job with valor and distinction are "baby killers" in the eyes of all Leftists.
Where did you see the film? Is there a link?
Saw this video and was amazed and very angry.
This young man then treated the islamo-facist that tried to kill him?
G-D Bless You Private Tschiderer. Thank you for serving our country!!!
facist=fascist, sheesh.
I found it on Michelle Marlkin's web site! I could barely watch it, though. And listening to those idiots chanting allah akbar was maddening. Freaks.
Speaking of stories like these .. is anybody watching Hardball - he's doing a "boots on the ground" program and he's got 3 of the top commanders from Iraq and they're telling their stories.
So far Chris has not made any stupid statements - but some general is coming on now - so who knows.
