Incidents like these prove once again the courage of the American soldier. Before this incident, PVT Sanford probably never thought that he was capable of accomplishing what he did. This kind of devortion to fellow soldiers gives me a sense of confidence in our future, win or lose in Iraq. While we celebrate & promote hedonistic, self-destructive, shallow drones like Brittany Spears, Anna Nicole & Justin Timberlake, real heroes lay their lives on the line for our spiritualy shallow society. May God (yes, I believe in Him openly) help us through this difficult time in our history & make us focus on what's REALLY important!
