I just read they gave him the VC yesterday. And to think that some people have anxiety attacks cause they are having a "bad day".

This guy makes all of us online look like pussies.
Thank god they still make men like this.

Did you even read the article you dumb shit? elighten yourself before you make fun of someone supporting a soldier not only making a difference but who suffered brain damage in the line of duty.

Dewalt, he was only joking. As you are new, such is the norm around here.

I am glad he got his VC. True hero

Let us not forget that it is an illegal war, fought on false pretences. They have no business being there in the first place.

Besidea, the Brits are in there on the orders of their American handlers.

Regardless what HE did was heroic. Better than anyone of us on our best days.

*now quiet before this gets moved to the bermuda triangle of terb, the politics forum. I mean we haven't seen OTB in the lounge in months*

Your point is not relevant when considering this man's bravery.

How does some desk jockey at MoD assess the 90% chance of death criteria ?

You've got to be kidding!

WTF does that have to do with this thread?
I highly doubt that Pte Beharry had alot of input into either US or British foreign policy and I doubt he spent a lot of time pondering it while he was performing the actions outlined in that article.
This guy is a hero and people who slam armed forces who risk it all for us just because they disagree with policy should be sent over there to solve the problem in a peaceful manner. LOL
I also think Iraq was a mistake but I tip my hat the all the Pte Beharrys who give more than I could ever imagine in order to clean up the mess. (IMHO)
