One of the few surviving CMoH winners say it best. In regards to the Marines on Iwo Jima as well as to all Marines in general.
"The ONLY reason that every Marine does not have a medal for valor is that there was no officer or senior SNCO around to witness their heroism and write them up for it."
SEMPER FI.
Today's Marines CONTINUE the TRADITION.

A similar story, along with a photo of the battle was posted a few days ago. The valor shown by this young man just keeps getting more and more incredible to read.
Thank God we're on the side of good in this war and our Marines, soldiers sailors and airmen are at the edge of the sword.

Yeah newbie. When someone is trying to kill you and you kill them first, you have a good reason to feel happy.
What's so damn hard to understand about that?

You reek of troll.
A warrior, fighting to save his brothers has his moment of vindication. All that hard work, sweat and training pays off.

he felt a sense of happiness when he killed the guy? OOOOOOKKK Nice try. But the context was
"I had many emotions kick in at once. I felt a sense of purpose, happiness, and sorrow, which all hit me at once."
And secondly, I don't find it odd that he would be happy to kill the ENEMY that was coming to kill him and his comrades.

He also felt sorry, as well as other things al at once.
Probably happy that the guy hadn't killed him.

Have you ever been in the same situation....I suggest you reserve judgment until you are in his boots.....it is easy to judge from the safety of your own home....

Go don your asbestos undies, newbie. You are about to be flamed!
I, too, am happy that Corporal Young (and his shipmates) whacked a bunch of those raghead bastards. Wish I were young enough to have been by his side!

I was artillery.
We felt happiness when we blew stuff up.
There something WRONG with being satisfied with your work?
