Video of him receiving the Medal of Honor

The Medal of Honour looks so pimp, especially when it's draped around Giunta!

Wow.

Fuck off.

You can do a lot here on REVscene. If you don't agree with him getting the Medal of Honor, then state an opinion. You can be anti-war or whatever you want to pick as a reason for talking shit.

But to just blindly disrespect a good, honorable man fighting for his country is just stupid. We're not Americans here but we can understand and appreciate his sacrifice and bravery.

Sit in the corner for a month and think about what you've done. I'll permaban you next time.

Great links and additional videos, thanks guys.

Thanks Ronin :thumbsup:

Washington (CNN) -- An Army Ranger who lost his right hand while tossing an enemy grenade away from fellow soldiers in Afghanistan was awarded the Medal of Honor Tuesday.

Sgt. 1st Class Leroy Arthur Petry became the second living recipient of the Medal of Honor from the Iraq and Afghan wars, according to the U.S. military.

"Leroy Petry showed that true heroes still exist, and they're closer than you think," said President Barack Obama, who presented the award to Petry.

Speaking after the ceremony, Petry thanked his family, the medical workers who cared for him and the soldiers who continue to serve in combat overseas.

"To be singled out is very humbling. I consider every one of our men and women in uniform to be our heroes," he said.

Petry was awarded the medal for his actions on May 26, 2008, in Paktia, Afghanistan.

Already wounded by a bullet that went through both his legs, Petry picked up an enemy grenade that landed near him and two fellow Rangers and threw it back toward the enemy, according to the Army News Service. The grenade detonated and blew off Petry's right hand. Petry applied a tourniquet to his wound and called for help.

"If not for Staff Sergeant Petry's actions, we would have been seriously wounded or killed," Sgt. Daniel Higgins, a fellow Ranger, wrote in a statement, according to the Army News Service.

Petry, now assigned to Fort Benning, Georgia, was the ninth service member to be presented the Medal of Honor for actions in Afghanistan or Iraq. The other living recipient is Army Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta.

Petry, a father of four from Santa Fe, New Mexico, has served two tours of duty in Iraq and six in Afghanistan.

He urged Americans to keep service members in their thoughts.

"The greatest reward any service member can get is a simple, 'thank you,'" he said.

While I think he's amazing and while I hate the taliban, while I wan't the US to win in afghanistan.. I think the dumbest thing to believe is that they're fighting for their country..

That's a huge oxymoron.

I don't protect my country by invading yours and doing all the killing in your territory.

If the taliban were here, that could be said.. but not like this.
I don't support the troops. Although I support most of them individually.
