As a follow on from the rant below, I was watching the news tonight which covered some lads from the Mercian Regiment receiving very distinguished medals for gallantry from the Queen. One chap got his Conspicuous Bravery medal for retrieving his fellow wounded soldier whilst under attack from the Taleban after being shot – twice. The second bullet ripped through his hip and came out of his stomach, along with some guts. He just poked them back in and went to rescue his fellow soldier.
Frankly, I think I would have given up after being shot the first time. That’s some classic SUL, right there – well done gentlemen!
