I read part of an after action report from Beslan. Some of those soldiers literally stood in doorways to block gunfire with their bodies so a few more children could escape. Heroism knows no borders.

That's absolutely exceptional. If I'd been told (as a Marine in the Eighties) that I'd be today raising a glass in heartfelt tribute to Russian soldiers, I'd never have believed it.

God bless them.

The link to the report was posted here at FR. I've been digging but I can't find it.
