I'm not, not one bit. It's about a soldier doing something good in Afghanistan, for a child. You can bet if he instead threw the child underneath the AFV, we would not hear the end of it. And, you can bet your life that the locals don't give a shit for him or his sacrifice for one of their own either.
Such a shame that the shitheads like Bales get all the press, and true hero's like Sgt. Weichel get SFA overall. My deepest condolences and respect Sgt. You're a better man than I.
RIP. worst thing is that I'm currently at Rhode Island studying and I haven't even heard of the death.
