Canadian Forces Medic emerges as a hero
http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/nation...ck-060117.html
(i took the liberty of summarizing it)
Master Corporal Paul Franklin
After a suicide attack (last saturday in afghanistan) 1 canadian civilian were killed & 3 Canadian Forces personnel were wounded, Franklins leg had been blown off, his other leg had been completley shattered and broken, immediatly he tied a tourniquet to his own severed leg, he than crawled to his fellow wounded soldiers and began administering first aid - both soldiers are now in medically induced coma's in Germany, doctors credit Franklin's immediate response to the reason the two soldiers are still alive.
Canadians have a history of insulting there nations army, hopefully this will make some of you proud.

did you actually watch that video?
I would feel sorry for the person who laughs at another for helping their fellow man, The army will do whatever it can to help the people.
