non e esattamente british, ma cmq interessante:
mark donaldson (trooper) del sasr viene insignito, come primo soldato in assoluto della victoria cross for australia:
e lei chi è?lo zio tibia?
dicono qualcosa sulla motivazione ? o è top secret?
governatrice generale d'australia, conferisce la vc in rappresentanza della regina che la sottoscrive...e lei chi è?lo zio tibia?
da wiki, che su queste cose e molto precisa:
the actions for which donaldson's vc were awarded took place on 2 september 2008. patrolling with afghan and us forces, they were ambushed by a well-prepared and larger taliban force. the ambush began with sustained machine gun and rocket-propelled grenade fire, causing several casualties. donaldson deliberately exposed himself to fire from the taliban fighters in order to draw their attention away from the casualties, allowing them to be moved to cover. when the patrol attempted to withdraw, the number of casualties was such that the unwounded personnel (including donaldson) had to make their way on foot, beside their vehicles, as the casualties filled the vehicles. as they set off, it was realised that an afghan interpreter attached to the patrol was wounded, and had not been loaded into the vehicles. donaldson immediately crossed the 80 metres or so of open ground between the convoy and the interpreter, under heavy fire, and then carried him back to the vehicles where donaldson adminstered first aid. the patrol eventually broke free of the ambush after two hours.
direi che se l'è meritata...certo gli è andata anche gran bene!
come tutti gli eroi, grande dose di coraggio e anche notevole fortuna
direi che ha palle da vendere, e altrettanto culo....
comunque tanto di cappello, se la merita.
