Yessir, if you’re going to engage an nearby enemy that outnumbers you 150:1, get behind the Mk19MOD3 grenade machine gun.

Good man. His commander has a Welsh name, too. Maybe a Welsh regiment?

When you’re all by yourself on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the Tabliban come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll out your Mk-19 and blow out their brains
An’ send em to hell like a soldier.
Boom, boom, boom like a soldier,
Boom, boom, boom like a soldier,
Boom, boom, boom like a soldier,
So-oldier OF the Queen!

"I got through six boxes in about 15 minutes and we were winning the fight," he said. "They started it. We were going to finish it." ...Hields said: "It turned out the bullet had smashed a rib and gone out of me again without touching any internal organs which was very lucky. It was just a flesh wound really."
Gotta love that kid.

Congratulations to this man on both the award and his bravery. Howvere comments such as “They started it, and we were going to finish it”, are exactly the kind of thing that prompts the dislike of the military from a majority of British citizens as was shown by the army uniform saga last week. British troops should have more training on how to justify themselves morally and maybe then they'd sound less oafish and would come accross more affable to us civilians<

Where do losers like this come from? How can they be so shameless as to actually post this crap?
