He is too good for those motherless politicians back in old Blighty who spend their time pandering to muslim terrorists while men like Lance Corporal Croucher face down injury and death to protect their freedom.

Your sarcasm is not welcome, this was an heroic act and not to be made fun of. I didn’t read what injuries he incurred, but it was not unreasonable of me to assume he was severely injured after jumping on a grenade. Your smart a**ed comment is worthy of the lowest liberal, jerk.

Too bad their politicians lack similar courage to deal with the Muslim threat at home.

> Its almost impossible to win the VC without dying. Only 1 person, Johnson Berray, has managed to win it in the last 40 years without being killed in the process...
Arrant n nonsense. Willie Apiata VC was awarded his just before Christmas last year. He is very, very much alive.
Charles Upham VC with Bar was awarded the Victoria Cross TWICE in WW-II and lived to tell the tale. He died in the early 1990’s.

I’m an individualist and won’t give my life for anyone else.
I just want to live my life the way that I want to live it and to do what I want to do and to have the government busy bodies leave me alone.
This is what Ayn Rand said:
“I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine:

You ought to read “Atlas Shrugged” one more time at least without the attitude before you quote her here on threads such as this.
I simply am astonished at your mindlessness when it comes to this particular subject, and on that particular work.
You simply do not “get it.”

To: Radix
Yeah I get it . You are a collectivist/socialist/liberal. You want me to sacrifice myself or my life for the common good of the country. Well I refuse to sacrifice myself for others or the country. I live for myself and I don’t care about you just like you don’t care what happens to me. I don’t want anybody to care for me or about me.
I laugh in the face of morons who beg for money and ask for contributions to charity.

Yes and I'm not allowed to want to live and to make my life better and to think how I want to think? or do I have to think like you want me to thinK? Sorry but it doesn't matter what you say NOONE can change my beliefs.
I have the right to pursue happiness and that doesn't include sacrificing my life for anyone else or the common good.
