The heroism from these men are absolutely amazing.
I was talking to my friend who's a medic out in Afghanistan. He said one soldier had less than an inch of flesh holding what was once his leg to his body. In the middle of fighting he put on a tournequit (sp?) to stop the bleeding, and used the bootstraps to then tie his leg onto his thigh and kept fighting. My understanding is this man is still in the Force and looks forward to returning to battle.
