A decorated Naval doctor described rescuing Fox News correspondent Benjamin Hall, who was wounded by Russian forces in the fighting outside Kyiv and trapped in the combat zone in need of medical care.

Bronze Star recipient Dr. Richard Jadick, 56, the most decorated combat doctor from the war in Iraq, told Fox News that he was teaching a course in Tennessee when he was called by combat rescue organization 'Save Our Allies' that they needed his help evacuating Americans.

'I got the call, headed home. Got myself packed, got on an airplane and let my family know where I was going,' Jadick told Fox host Martha MacCallum. 'It was later on in the week that we got the call to move to Kyiv, that we had to evacuate a critically wounded patient.'

That patient turned out to be Hall, who was injured in an attack by Russians that killed Fox cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski and Oleskandra Kurshynova.

'I was there at the right place and at the right time,' Jadick said humbly.

Dr. Jadick served 7 years as a Marine Corps officer including in-country “Iraq I” before entering medical school. He wrote about his Iraq II War experiences as a Navy Medical Officer assigned to the Marines in “On Call In Hell.” The book is well worth reading.

I agree. Everything I have read indicates “friendly” fire and instead is being used to stoke more Russia hatred. Some vicious reply’s regarding Russian atrocities but not one mention of current Ukrainian policy regarding unwilling conscripts and their fate.

Yes, I remember that well.
