James. Posted 25 July 2008 Posted 25 July 2008 what a brave but stupid guy! :laugh: In what possible way can he be considered stupid? The more I read of your posts the more I'm lead to believe that particular label is more applicable to you.
SamL Posted 25 July 2008 Posted 25 July 2008 It was a very brave thing to do, completely unselfish. I'm not sure if I'd have been able to do the same. He fully deserves the George Cross.
James. Posted 25 July 2008 Posted 25 July 2008 I'm not sure if I'd have been able to do the same. The most impressive thing is that it was his instinct to dive on the grenade. You say you don't think you would've been able to do the same but it's more a question of what your first reaction would be... would you dive on the grenade or run for it. I'd probably run. To have that mindset where your first reaction is to make amends for your mistake and in the process save your colleagues lives while at the same recognising that you may not survive yourself is remarkable.
