Had it been a different time, a different nation... he might not have survived to see his spit land.
Had it been a different time with soldiers of this nation, he might well not have survived to see his spit land.

I also want to stress the importance of captured ALIVE.
This soldier had a grenade ready, and could have literally BLOWN the whole thing. With Saddam in little pieces, our friends, the Russians, the French, the Germans, would not have felt compelled to suddenly reversve their previous attitude about helping out in Iraq. Syria and Iran wouldn't have felt so compelled to suddenly go along with UN inspections, etc.
This soldier, with life at risk, showed the courage, patience, and strength of the AMERICAN SOLDIER. He should get the $mill from Bruce Willis. We should have the media use him as THE AMERICAN HERO. Get the pathetic parts of the American public to finally show some appreciation for the true hope of America. The younger generation, willing to brave the fear of death to protect their country/family/friends/way of life.
If you ask me, the Million Bucks is nothing compared to what we have asked, and they have accepted risking.
Anyone that thinks "that's easy for you to say", "what did you risk", needs to know a little more about me before jumping to conclusions.
