[QUOTE=Cone;34000701]I think it's less patriotism and most people just having cool military forces. I mean, you're not going to deny that your soldiers are great just because they're yours, are you? I wonder if this guy will get a Badass of the Week article, since this is one of those action-hero type things that you see in movies, only with medical bills.[/QUOTE]What soldiers? It's one man and he wasn't even on duty.
[QUOTE=purvisdavid1;33984979]Holy fuck he's nearly 50 and still in the Marines.[/QUOTE] it says he's a veteran
Holy fuck, that must of hurt so much. That guy is the definition of badass.
[QUOTE=blackXmesa66;33987771]Why the fuck don't they have armour?[/QUOTE] a well know fact about the Marines is you have body armor permanently welded to your torso once your service ends
[QUOTE=AceOfDivine;34001890]What soldiers? It's one man and he wasn't even on duty.[/QUOTE] Marines in general, I mean. After all, I doubt this guy would have been so quick to chase them if he wasn't trained, which is why people are saying Marine training is good. Which it is.
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;34001899]it says he's a veteran[/QUOTE] it also says hes rejoining the marines

Jesus, the guy wasn't even concerned about dying until the SECOND bullet wound.
[QUOTE=Clementine;34002333]JaegerMonster: A sad person who puts down an armed force to feel better about his sad little life[/QUOTE] Well if we're making broad generalizations shouldn't [I]you[/I] fit the qualifications for a "sad little life"? I mean, you're both on the Internet and insulting people.

The ONLY reason this is such huge news is because he's a marine. There are countless people who survive gunshot wounds. He didn't do anything "badass" or "EXTREME"; shoving your fingers into a wound just widens and irritates it, you need to direct pressure on it. The guy did something harmful and painful. [QUOTE=Clementine;34002407] I'm not the one insulting people who, in bad times, would defend billions of people's lives[/QUOTE] Think you're exaggerating just a bit.
[QUOTE=Clementine;34002407]I'm not the one insulting people who, in bad times, would defend billions of people's lives[/QUOTE] Insulting people nonetheless.
[QUOTE=No_0ne;34002371]Jesus, the guy wasn't even concerned about dying until the SECOND bullet wound.[/QUOTE] it's called adrenaline, plus the guy is probably hardwired to avoid the initial shock of being hit with something like a bullet. Seriously, sorry to ruin your fun, but this guy did your ordinary reaction to being shot. And in some ways, worse

[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;34002522]Just an understanding of the human body. You and I, in the right circumstances, can do the same thing this guy did. Only I would shove my hands into my body and make the wound worse.[/QUOTE] If I were shot I know I'd constrict the wound to cut of the blood flow and stay where I was - in fact I did just that when I lost a huge chunk of my left thumb, so I'd hardly say my first instinct was to jam my finger in the wound.
Marines also use tampons to plug bullet holes as well.
I'm a military kid, dad is a retired marine and I live outside of a large base (Jacksonville, NC). I used to never understand why any branch of the military would be so cocky, especially the Marines. But fuck, I prefer a group of indisputably well trained men and women that think they're the toughest shit on earth rather than being modest about it. Dad also instilled in me a sense of pride for him and other family members in the service, and I wish I could get rid of that. I get butthurt over people calling an entire "branch" of the military stupid or when the marines call individuals that fight adjacent to them pussies for having different skill sets. I can't help but think how two individuals fighting for the same cause would be so competitive. Just would like to throw that out there and maybe a bit of insight could be provided. Thread has already seem quite a few critical post about the marines, I don't hold them as gods but only respect their occupation. Years ago my dad was pissed at me because I told him America was stupid for not converting to metric. Not exactly pissed, but he told me "Shame on you", and that absolutely crushed me at that age. Guess he took it as I was attacking America and him as well. Sorry if this seems a little off topic. Alright, a lot off topic.

[QUOTE=Smug Bastard;34003717]I know I'm going to get boxed for this, my avatar being one of two reasons, but... [sp]Doomguy in real life?[/sp][/QUOTE] The Doomguy doesn't need to plug bullet holes because he rips and tears his enemies and their guts before they can shoot.
[QUOTE=OvB;33985197]Reminds me of that guy that used a tampon to plug a bullet hole he got at a shooting range accident.[/QUOTE] That's actually standard issue stuff now. Seals especially carry bags of tampons, pads and instert-y ones to plug bullet holes because they absorb blood and expand well.
