Yeah, the picture at #16 is from an entirely different incident.

It looks like the article has been updated. The two servicemen involved were Air Force and Oregon National Guard, plus a British IT consultant and "a guy from California." (Doesn't say if he was military or not.) It also says the injured sustained a knife wound to the neck, not a shot.

A US solider who foiled a terrorist attack on a French-bound train was knifed in the neck while disarming the crazed gunman.

Spencer Stone, who is part of the U.S. Air Force, spotted the 26-year-old Moroccan acting suspiciously and heard him trying to arm his weapon in the toilet of the high speed train between Amsterdam and Paris.

He was travelling with Oregon National Guard member Alek Skarlatos, 22, who was on leave travelling through Europe at the time after returning from Afghanistan.

With the help of Anthony Sadler, from Pittsburg, California, and British IT consultant Chris Norman, they managed to wrestle the attacker to the ground, stopping what could have been a deadly terrorist attack.

According to the updated site, those are the three who were involved. 1) ? California; 2) Oregon National Guard; 3) British IT guy. You can see blood on the one guy’s shirt. Obviously, the guy who was knifed is not in the picture because he’s in the hospital. Looks like it was Air Force that took the knife.
