#7 I hope he gets a medal. That will be some compensation for his mates all calling him The Worlds Ugliest Hood Ornament.
Very gutsy stuff. Well done.

#8 Typical Aussie, they are the salt of the Earth.
I was down at the pub the other night talking to one of the local larrikans, who was enjoying a bullboar meal when one of his mates, who is noted for having a weak stomach walked in.
I should mention that another local brings his dog in, against regulations.
The above mentioned larrikan said "watch this" and then skinned a bullboar and dropped it on the floor.
While the two of them were talking, the larrikan said "bloody hell, whats that?
I think its sh*t"
With that he picked up the skinned bullboar and took a bite.
"Yup", he said, "it's sh*t."
His mate spent the next half hour french kissing the porcelin.

#9 Way to go Aussies. You've restored my faith and we in the US are extremely grateful for your courage and dedication to overthrowing Islamic Extremism.....oh, I forgot....too racist. Anyway, give this soldier a medal. I hope he sent many of Allah's worshipers home to their 72 virgins.

#10 He is a true hero in every sense of the word. Very Inspiring! Where is the news coverage on this?!? Oh since it wasn't Obama doing this then its not worthy of the MSM illuminati coverage? Go JOE!
