Holy shit. He said when he came to after getting knocked out from the blast, he thought he got hit by an IED so he knew it was probably an ambush and that there would be small arms fire, so he looks for his rifle, and takes his pistol out to try and engage any targets. This man looked death straight in eye and said he was busy. Massive respect for all of those guys.

As a Canadian, what I know about war from my childhood was from my Grandfather (who fought for Britain in WW2). What i know from him is absolutely nothing, the power of silence coming from a man who was more powerful than anyone I've ever met. Regardless of whatever labels are usually attached to me, as a young person living in social media zeitgesit; It's people like this who make me tear up just thinking of the kind of bravery I could never myself commit. I've always had an avid interest in MOH recipients because they represent the best and bravest our species has to offer. I also consider myself a secularist and advocate of science as a the new social catalyst, I still see our soldiers and our bravest as peers to our genius.

I had survivor guilt and still do to this day, so believe it when I say that if we as warriors could trade places with our fallen brothers we would in a second. He is a true American hero and a warrior in the truest sense of the word! He and others like him should ve honored as often as possible. When I was hurt, we didnt see it coming......this Officer and Soldier made a conscious decision to tackle this suicide bomber knowing full well that it will most likely cost him his life, but he did it anyway, to protect " the boss" and his fellow warriors....that is what sets him apart from Soldiers like me and others.....that is what truely makes him a hero!!! I hope and pray that he and his family live a long and prosperous life filled with nothing but happiness and success.

Looking at your own destroyed leg and being able to accept any confusion caused by your loss of memory; analyse what the damage to your leg can tell you about the situation you're in; and deciding what comes next -- all in a split second. The only small note on what you wrote, is that the sensation of pain might be absent due to shock and adrenaline. But that doesn't take away from the situational awareness that you mentioned; I fully agree. One hell of a human being.

But YOUR handle also caused pain. Why would you say 'fuck God' when it's both divisive and so offensive to so many? Peace brother. Allahu akbar. (From a Christian businessman, ex army vet, and now senior). Check out what it really means..... so you needn't be offended. Guess you have few Jewish, or Muslim friends .

I've been tested as a civilian law enforcement officer and officer of military police where I've been in life threatening situations. I was given the honor of risking my life in defense of and to save others. It seems I passed my tests. Blessings to CPT Groberg. A blessed American. He's why America 'works' as born French and later being American. Thanks for your service to our imperfect, but blessed, loved American.

+Paelorian Yeah, what kind of American would just talk French that's just meant for the French without it being translated? Captain MURICA would have just speak in MURICAN AND THAT'S HOW WE DO IT YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW!

madmax21st Stupid comment. I'm glad he delivered his message to France in French. It's just that it would have been nice if the rest of the audience (most of whom are not French-speaking) could also hear a translation of the message afterward so that we could appreciate and applaud it. Obviously we're all curious.

@@lintottish It's patriotic to inform people, to expose lies, while it's unpatriotic to obstruct justice. Stephen Colbert also went to Afghanistan himself and did more for the American troops than many politicians who only claim that they love the troops for their votes and do nothing for them.

@@lintottish Yes. Inform yourself on the facts of something before exposing the world to your stupidity. It's better for people to think you an idiot than for you to open your mouth and prove it.
