No one is praising his wounds. It's the 1st Sgt's actions that are praiseworthy.

A patriot and a hero no doubt, but I would suspect the reason upper most in his mind at the time was the other Marines in his care.

What brain fart would cause you to ask that question in response to this type of article?

Btw, that's rhetorical, so don't answer.
Yes, this soldier was a very brave man but Aussies question was fair enough.

So is it OK to use the term "brain fart" in future posts?

It's a shame that guy got kicked off. He started out OK but I think he got "a liitle flamed" by somebody and reacted badly.

Yet another Marine Recommended for the Medal of Honor to have it down graded to a Cross.

Sgt Major Kassal deserved it too.

Seems to me that there is something afoot at DOD.
