#2 Another story involved a soldier from Egoz who sustained a serious gunshot wound to the jaw. Without thinking twice, officers said, his comrades threw him on a stretcher and carried him three kilometers out of the battle zone to safety.

Three kilometers?! That deserves a medal, both for the fallen soldier and the people who carried him that far.

#4 Those young heroes are fighting for us in America just as much as the troops in Iraq; they're just attacking a different head on the hydra. I am more grateful than I can say for their efforts and I hope the powers that be in Washington give them the full support that is their due.

#5 This house to house battle is the worst and negates most advantages we train for. Let's stop these tactics and use heavy application of napalm and burn them out. Once the fire has burnt thru, go in with the dozers and roll up what's left. This will flush the survivors or bury them. We need to change tactics and get tough with these dogs.

#6 This can only be from someone that has been there and understands that every house is a seperate battle fought on a very personal level. Large bombs and armored bulldozers shoud be the rule. House to house fighing saved for the roll up of HVT's.

I'll bet the people that carried him that far were glad to do it.
