So in 7 minutes of combat he went through a Russian PKM, an M240 and an AK-47, exhausting all the ammo for the first two. Someone needs to buy that guy a beer.

Proper training took over plus a Soldier that knew how to use it. “Well done Soldier, Well done!”

I'm sure he got beer and more.

Some would have frozen or tried to run.

He stood and fought for his life and those of his fellow soldiers.

The American Soldier, Sailor, Marine and Airman has shown throughout history that we can fight. Down in the mud and blood fight.

There is no more feared icon in the world.

Outstanding! Kudos to Spc. Robinson!

OK, so I searched for a Nicholas Robinson from Tacoma on Facebook and found him (pretty sure anyway. The photo looks right and he is a helicopter mechanic for the army.)

His last wall entry was in September.

Does anyone know if the guys in war zones can't post on Facebook?

Who says that spray and pray don't work, mortars incoming does have a tendency to tighten your a-hole, the kid did good, real good, where were his Rag head pals.

Thank you, Robinson.

Maybe the Marines can give Spc. Nicholas Robinson a Honorary “Gunny Sergeant” rank???????
