En lille opbyggelig historie

Trey Jackson har et indlæg om to islamistiske snigskytter i Irak, komplet med den video de lavede af dem selv mens de skød en amerikansk syghjælper. Amerikaneren - Steven Tschiderer - blev skudt på 75 meters afstand med en Dragunov snigskytteriffel. Imod al logik stoppede hans flakvest kuglen, og da snigskytterne var blevet skudt var det kort efter ham der - usåret - var den der forbandt snigskytternes sår. Det er endnu en historie der aldrig når ud i medierne:

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, with E Troop, 101st “Saber” Cavalry Division, attached to 3rd Battalion, 156th Infantry Regiment, 256th Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, 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.
