    Meh, anyone can say that, it's expected.

    Saw another brainless video today about the eval Military Industrial Complex^tm and thought they deserved credit too. Also the point is not that he risked his life but that he saved another. You're stupid to jump on a grenade but a hero if it saves the lives of others.

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    I am not certain of the standards England sets for awarding the Victoria Cross.

    This specific act of bravery has been repeated in U.S. military history dozens of times. Each has earned the Medal of Honor, and virtually all of the awards have been posthumous.

    Well, it certainly should be. The man displayed a massive amount of courage.

    Well, of course. If I jump on a grenade at home, than I'm just being an idiot. If I do it to save lives, then I'm a hero. It's how things work.
