Yea know. A few days back in an article on General George S. Patton, the issue was raised about Marine General Chesty Puller being perhaps a bit to agressive.

Now if this proud Marine Lt was not so aggressive, would not we had lost more good Marines? Case closed. I smartly stand at attention and salute this Marine and his men for their acts of bravery and abiding by the Marine code of combat.

Brian Chontosh learned well that Marines under attack live and win by directing a storm of fire at those firing at them. Over match the opposition fire power and the bad guys flinch and bail.

Truly the old KGB boys and gals must look on in total envy as they watch American L/MSM totally outdo Pravda. At least in the Soviet Bloc, many just went along with the lies because they wanted to stay alive. In America and EU, well it is a different story taint it.

I am awed.

a modern day sgt. york story. a regular guy who was never looking to be a hero. but when confronted with a situation, stepped up and did what he was trained to do. actually, he went above and beyond. i bet a lot of kids of the men under his command will be named after this guy.

Awsome, simply awsome.

Damn! Damn! and more damn!! What a fine example of a United States Marine!!!

[Brit_Guy]

This gets a Navy Cross? So what on earth do you have to do to win the Medal of Honor??!?
