It's good to hear that some Kiwis are still valourous enough to serve, even if they have to serve in the British army.

even if they have to serve in the British army.

"breaker morant" comes to mind.

Hand grenades and horseshoes...

“Fragmentation also hit his Platoon commander Captain Graeme Kerr”

Will he be able to cook again?

[Blood of Tyrants]

He was right, he wouldn’t be any less dead if he just froze.

When the Taliban grenade came back "RETURN TO SENDER":

I recall reading sometime ago that nearly 50% of the posthumous Medals of Honor that went to Marines during WW II resulted when the Marine threw himself on a grenade to protect his fellow Marines.

I would be kind of embarrassed if people called me brave too.

Now had he been under cover and jumped out to save his fellow soldiers then that’s brave, but if it’s either do or die then brave isn’t exactly the right word for it.

[Oldpuppymax]

Was he ALLOWED to do that? Won’t he be prosecuted for an attempt to HARM a MUSLIM??

[Ramius]

telling himself: "I've really only got one chance to do this."

Heh. True enough.

I suppose it felt like everything was happening in slow motion, too... which... with a grenade in your hand... is probably a freakin' eternity.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Said he tried to toss it off properly so that the Afghans wouldn’t throw it right back... huh? Is this a Roadrunner cartoon?

Makes me wonder why he didn't stay in the NZ army if he wanted Afghan experience .....
