Navy Seal Saves Squad By Jumping Onto Grenade

He should have thrown it away, idiot.

 

Nice post there Duckz, i want to hold a nade, throw it all the way up on top of the roof you're on, it hits your chest, you have NNNOOO idea when it's gonna blow, don't know where your buddies are around you, or what's around you. What the ---- would you do in this situation? You can't say until you are in the position, so shut the ---- up kid. I hope nobody goes to your funeral in 20 years when you're coked out of your mind, after this guy fought for your dumbass freedom...

RIP Mr. Monsoor!

 

Monsoor probably had 2-3 seconds max. until the grenade exploded. So in that case, "throwing it away" would have injured just as many people.

You're the idiot. Get the hell out.

 

Naaaaa, like all US NABY SEALS (wtf are they doing in the desert btw?) he'd get a standard grenade danger indicator that shows him where the grenade is and he'd have plenty of time to throw it back at the Storm Troopers below.

Interesting post caught my eye though:

If your to flame, at least make a half decent attempt at it. Your post is mostly mentally deranged, yooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuu(crank dat soulja boy) ask me what I'd do if a grenade hit my chest, don't let me respond, then say "yooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuu(crank dat soulja boy) don't know until you've been in the situation so stfu" k then.... make sense please. And the bold part made me chuckle. For starters I'm Scottish so he's doing ------ all for my "freedom." secondly, LOL he's fighting for freedom? freedom from what? its not like before the Iraq war began, everyone in the USA lived in a state of fear and oppression run by Saddam Hussein, Americans were randomly killed at night, arbitrary arrests were normal, curfews were enforced,there was restricted human rights and civil liberties and there was mass murder of any political opposition/anyone who didn't like him / anyone who wore sunglasses. I don't think it was like that before now was it? No its more like he's fighting for Oil. It was a brave act and deserving of a medal of honour, but still, my point remains, he should have thrown the nade back at them.

 

i think this is old news, but wow at that story

Look this thread is to pay respect for someone who gave up his life for numerous people. And this isn't the Last Word section, FYI.

 

REALLY ITS NOT THE LAST WORD? I THOUGHT IT WAS. although you assumed i was from across the pond and he was fighting for freedom so i had to correct you honey.

And i will respect him once America does something good to Iraq and sorts the ---- out. Until then his death shall be in vain and i will stand by my point of HE SHOULD HAVE THROWN THE NADE BACK AT THE TERRORISHTS.

 

Not sure if you understand how grenades work...there is a "cook time"...The reason Monsoor didn't do the "logical" thing and scoop it up and toss it off the roof is because he wasn't aware how long the grenade had been "cooked". So picking it up to head/chest level to throw it and having it explode in his hand...or in the air...could of resulted in more fatalities and more serious injuries, he did what he was trained to do by jumping on it...sacrificing himself to jump on the grenade kept the shrapnel and blast "contained" to it didn't cause extreme damage to anyone nearby...and I want you to understand something...he didn't do it to just save his "brothers" there was also Iraqi troops on the roof that he gave his life for. And for you to say his death is in vain and that you don't respect a soldier for giving his life up for his country..even if its not your country is sickening...you might be one of the most ignorant pricks on this message board...It's not his fault our government put him over there to fight...he had no choice...no say in going to Iraq...so don't say it was in vain...because it wasn't...he served his country...and did what he was supposed to do as a SEAL in the USNavy...now explain to me how that doesn't merit respect?

 

CAUSE HE SHOULD HAVE THROWN THE GRENADE BACK. He might not have died had he done that. Also, If he did what he was supposed to, then why does he deserve all the merit? And you wonder why America are losing the war, sending US NAVY SEALS into a desert... Us Brits, being sensible, sent in the Desert Rats, and had a far greater sucess in Afghanistan and Iraq.

 

I salute this man for his gallantry and honour.


To be honest i do not know if i would of done the same. But perhaps if the soldiers i was with were ones that i respected, then yes i would.

I would sacrifice my life for any of my mates.

 

Who the ------ are you to say what he should of done? And the reason he jumped on it...is because he didn't know how long it had been cooked..so he wasn't aware how long he had before it exploded...the only way without a doubt to prevent the most damage to his entire squad+bystanders was to jump on it. Yes perhaps he had enough time to throw it back...but what if he didnt...picked it up to toss it...and it exploded killing him as well as 7+ SEALS and several other troops nearby? Maybe being British is your problem here...Seems like thats whats keeping you from seeing that the only way to without a doubt make sure that no harm was caused to anyone on that roof...was to jump on it and "contain" the blast...and thats what he did...

America is losing the war? How so?....and our US NAVY SEALS are trained to fight in any kind of terrain imaginable just because they're the "navy" doesnt mean they float around on boats all day...And explain to me how the ------ "you brits" have had more success in Afgan/Iraq? The ------ing brits are as useful as canadians in wartime.

I think that it was a very courageous thing for M. Monsoor, and that he deserves the Medal of Honor all the way.

Would you do the same as Monsoor?

Discuss.

not the first time i have heard of this - RIP and you deserve so much more for what you did to save the lives of your squad.

I agree with the first paragraph 100% , the 2nd paragraph everything but the brits not being useful - hes just an idiot from his country that doesnt see the honor in what he did

 

Well....for starters ellipses aren't needed after every sentence.... and, ok then, maybe instead of throwing the nade, after it hit his chest he should have volleyed it back at the terrorists before it even touched the ground.

Well maybe America isn't technically losing the war, but its costing you a ---- load and your stuck there.I mean all your doing is getting killed, every US death is important, an American death has a far greater impact on your moral than the death of an insurgent on the Iraqi moral. And please do tell me your exit strategy, and make sure its the one that doesn't involve Iraq descending into more chaos and even civil war. When was it you caught Saddam and defeated his army? so why are you still there?

Well we've had more success in Afghanistan because we've met our mission targets, which were: bomb the place ----less and shoot people. You on the other hand still havent caught good old Osama, which is why you decided to invade. So we're winning. As for Iraq, well, we're doing better since we've pretty much withdrawn and your stuck there getting killed.

HE SHOULD HAVE THROWN THE NADE AWAY.

Arse. Head. Remove.

 

i'd have thrown and run.

 

With one less arm. ^


Pretty quick thinking, putting everyone before himeself. Great guy.
