Shot and awe | The Sun |News|Campaigns|Our Boys
A HERO Guardsman was hit by a Taliban sniper - then pulled out the bullet and kept fighting.
Brave Lewis Coulbert, 22, at first did not realise he had been shot in the midnight firefight.
But he glanced down moments later and saw his arm covered in blood.
Lewis said: "It felt like being jabbed really hard. It was not until the end of the contact that I noticed my arm was covered in blood.
"I pulled out the bullet, treated it and carried on."

Kidding.
Something that will get him laid for years.
At the bar comparing battle scares while the hot green eyed brunette listens on..
Soldier: I served in Iraq...
Guy: Oh yeah? I own 3 prosche 911's, a private jet, a company of 10,000, net worth of 2 billion, and climed mount Everest blind folded...
Soldier: I was shot by a sniper, pulled the bullet out, bandage myself, and killed 6 more hodgies who were holding babies hostage and saved them too.
Soldier: Panties hit face...

Most people die when they are shot because that is what they think they are supposed to do. How many of us have met 'street' people who have been shot multiple times and on multiple occasions, or walk themselves into the ER with bullet wounds. We have been conditioned by TV that when you are shot - whenever and wherever - you drop and die. Dont believe that. Condition your mind to fight on, and you will most likely survive.

Yeah, it w as a typo. If the leap in reasoning was too drastic, let me know and I will explain further. Originally Posted by CityOfChicago

Please do not tease the guard dog. He is mean by nature, but when you tease him he gets downright uncontrollable! Originally Posted by Switchback

Says the Doggie...
You have a second-hand opinion.Of every one hundred men, ten should not even be here. Eighty are nothing but targets. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the One... One of them is a Warrior... He will bring the others back.
