Wow, that's like something out of a Hollywood movie!! Hard to keep a Marine down.
To: Ignatius J Reilly
I imagine there will be a lot of movies from this war. There are a lot of very brave men and women in this war and as a war veteran myself, I salute them all.

And a genuine hero.

Fox News did a special on the battle of Fallujah. Captain Chontosh was a company commander. Cigaratte dangling out of his mouth, talking on the radio, leading his Marines. He looked just like Captain Christmas did during the battle of Hue City in 1968.
Captain Christmas became Lieutenant General Christmas.

I think this story is a year old, though it is making the email rounds again.

His actions that day sound very much like the actions of a certain former conscientious objector from Eastern Tennessee.
To: Calpernia
Thank God for this hero and his loved ones!
To: DataDink
Outstanding work, Captain!
America can sleep well at night knowing that heroes like you are on duty. Hoooo Ahhhh!
