Sometimes seems that all we hear about is the youth stabbing each other....Good on this fella!

Answer 1

read that this morning, incredible... They should publicise such selflessness much more... a true hero.

Answer 2

i agree there,i watched it on the news he could of easily been killed,you dont know for sure how you would react to any given situation,until your faced with it,they are doing a very brave job out there under difficult circumstances,i wish them all the very best of luck,its been reported we have lost more soldiers.

Answer 3

Totally commendable, he well deserves the George Cross, and so do his parents for raising such a fine young man.

They must be so very, very proud.

Answer 4

I TURN FROM VILLAIN TO HERO EVERY CHRISTMAS EVE.

Answer 5

Firstly, you should look at the proper definition of the word "Hero"

In the UK, everything who moves is a "Hero" !

Footballers, torturers of Iraqi prisoners, Police officers killed accidentally by villains, anybody automatically becomes a hero.

The REAL Heroes, you never hear of them !

PS, What that guy did is not heroism, it's plain stupidity. A well train soldier would look for booby traps before entering a building while the rest of the team stands back till the all clear.

Answer 6

That is amazing.

Answer 7

He's a very brave young man, a true hero. Not many people would risk their lives like that and it's heartwarming to hear about someone like this.

Answer 8

Oh yeah, ever since I was in that little freakish accident with some toxic drums, I can fly and burn everything with beams from my eyes (To my neighbor Mrs Anderson if you are reading this, if you notice your cat's burnt tail...That was me. My bad!). All I need now is my cape and a mask.

Answer 9

I honestly don't think I could remain so calm and rational in such circumstances. Brave guy.

He laid down his life for others,only a miracle handed it back to him.It was a conscious decision too.His survival instinct must have been screaming 'RUNAWAY!!!

He deserved to be honoured.

How can you know if you have it in you or not.Even if you'd like to think you did you might freeze when it came to it.
