Your US Military in action

First, we have this bold heroic action by a medic hit with sniper fire who somehow recovers enough to aid in the capture of the jihadists and then treats THEIR wounds. Watch the sniper's captured video - not horrific.

"During a routine patrol in Baghdad June 2, Army Pfc. Stephen Tschiderer, a medic, was shot in the chest by an enemy sniper, hiding in a van just 75 yards away. The incident was filmed by the insurgents.
Tschiderer, was knocked to the ground from the impact, but he popped right back up, took cover and located the enemy’s position.

After tracking down the now-wounded sniper with a team from B Company, 4th Battalion, 1st Iraqi Army Brigade, Tschiderer secured the terrorist with a pair of handcuffs and gave medical aid to the terrorist who’d tried to kill him just minutes before."

On yet another level, there's this picture and update referencing blogger Michael Yon, embedded in Iraq.
