As I read the original post I was nodding in agreement whilst thinking of way to contribute; you know, something like some other examples of selfless heroism by soldiers, police, firemen and even Joe Public, and maybe even divulge some of the feelings such acts make me feel, about myself, about the world, and more importantly how such acts give me some hope regarding the future of Man.
Then I read this:
"Leftists will say, "Hey, what is the difference." That each one gave their life for a cause.
I will say, that one wastes their life away in some demented brainwashed act of idiocy.
The other, given the choice of all being severely injured or killed, or being killed to save his buddies, chooses to sacrifice himself to save the others."
Great job, I don't think you could have dishonoured the poor bastard's memory any more if you had tried to; and from you, of all people, the man who goes thermonuclear everytime the leftwing even look like they are about to use a soldiers death for their own political ends.

And now, in the spirit of the original post:
It gladens my heart to hear of this soldier laying down his life to save his friends, of the self sacrifice of one for the good of the many; for what further proof do you need that deep down we are all Communists?
