He's My New Hero

[Big Don]

Fusilier Damien Hields used his grenade machinegun to destroy seven Taliban positions before his ambushers realised he was their main threat. After peppering his vehicle with bullets, they hit the 24-year-old soldier. He had to be dragged off for treatment by his driver after he tried to continue fighting.

Good lad! Equal hussars for that brave medic lass :sensei rei:.

This relates strongly to the thread from the other day where we discussed that the valorous acts of our soldiers are just not being reported as prominently as they should.

These conflicts may have been instigated through less-than-pure motives but the courage of the mena nd women in the line of fire should still be recognised.

Wow! What a story!
