Incredible. His actions probably saved a lot of his comrades lives. :clap:

good story.

and a dumb rule about not being allowed to wear his medal.

I agree - stupid rule on the medal. Though *maybe* the British Army will make an exception? (Ha! I doubt it too!).

Good for him though! :clap:

:yeah: It's not like it was awarded by Pakistan or any other non-Nato country.

Awesome, just awesome and don't forget the female nurse, she is pretty freaking brave too. There are still hero's in the world.
