This man was going to rescue all his buddies -— or die trying.

I hadn’t seen much news today. This is super - thanks for posting. I read his book “Into The Fire” just recently.

An outstanding example of why everyone from the Commander-in-Chief on down salutes a Medal of Honor recipient (regardless of their rank)first.

Imagine the impact on a group of young Marines who end up with Sgt. Dakota Meyer as their squad leader.

Imagine the impact on a platoon or company commander fortunate enough to have him as a squad leader.

“”Send him to PI Drill Instructor School.””

No - I’m sure he’d do anything he’s assigned to do but probably desires more action than screaming at a bunch of new recruits....

This is the guy who was married to Sarah Palin’s daughter, right?

He’s going into the reserves. Maines don’t carry reserve DIs like the Army does. He’d be better as a recruiter though.

I agree. Recruits need great examples to follow and aspire to.
