    And the man who gave him first aid.

    Yah. Strange twist of fate, innit? An insurgent shoots and wounds an army medic, who (courtesy of body armor) springs up, finds cover and directs fire upon the sniper's position. Then, after the wounded sniper and his videographer bug out, he tracks the sniper down, cuffs him and... treats him for his wounds.

    You couldn't script this on a straight-to-video movie. Too unbelievable. Except that, em... it actually happened.

    You probably read this in your local paper. Old news. Happened, jeez: Ten days or so ago.

    No?

    Then you read about it when you were surfing the big three: The New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times. You know, the papers of record?

    No.

    Well. That's why you read Milblogs , yah? To get the whole story. Which, when you stop and think about it makes you wonder: What's up with that?

    Credo

    "Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." - John Paul Jones

    "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Ceasar and Cleopatra"

    "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friederich Nietzsche
