“But a committee of doctors and military figures insists that heroism isn’t involved since Peralta was shot in the head and could not have survived before he used his body to shield his fellow soldiers from the grenade.”
I saw a guy get out of a car that had been hit with like 300 rounds once...this guy has been hit in the head..neck..he has his thumb stuck in his neck..been hit in the arms..all over the place...guy gets out of his car and walks into a hospital...idk...people can take rounds in the head and the wounds can sometimes not be instantly in and off themselves fatal.
I don’t know what the medical report was on this fallen hero but even with self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the head it is not uncommon to see that the person had survived the first round long enough to put one or two more in their head.
(*note NOT implying this Marine shot himself, just pointing out head wounds and actions that can be carried out after they are infllcted) :(
Godspeed
