This Navy SEAL has some balls

Torog, you sometimes amaze me with your ability to take something like this and use it as an excuse to denounce liberals. Here your comments don't make a lick of sense. At least their partisan sentiments don't.

This particular liberal sees Monsoor's actions as completely Medal of Honor worthy, too. That was a heroic act, and I'm fully aware that most of the everyday small acts our military folks accomplish are also heroic. I appreciate and stand in awe of their service, even when they're not throwing themselves on grenades and even if I disagree with the leaders who sent them into action. I wasn't in the Navy, but I did work for nearly 8 years in a paramilitary organization known as the fire department. You develop appreciation for heroes real quickly when you fight fires or practice paramedicine, and that gives you a special ability to recognize heroic acts in others, too, no matter what your political stance.

Howdy birdgirl,

Yup..yer right-shame on me..I knew better than to say what I did,but I couldn't help myself. It does make me feel somewhat better,that there are some folks on the Left,who can appreciate Petty Officer Monsoor's brave act..so thank ya for that bit of re-assurance:)

I'm a big supporter of my local VFD and have 2 personal friends that work in the department,and I consider them to be heroes too.

Anyhow..I'm sorry that I gave ya reason to chastise me,I'll try and behave.

Have a good one !

That's OK, hon. I know you couldn't help yourself. I figured it was just automatic!

Boy, I keep getting visual images of what that Monsoor scene must have been like. I can't get that out of my head for some reason. I hope his parents take some comfort from knowing their son was a hero.

You take care, Torog, and have a good weekend! We were headed to the state fair today, but mama here has an aching back and may weasel out of the trip. . .

well i mean if the grnade was gonna kill all the people around it anyways, isnt it logical for someone to just jump on it and save some people?
