Anonymous Coward User ID: 68153486 United States 01/09/2017 04:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Chris Costa On May 2, 1968, a 12-man Special Forces patrol, which included nine Montagnard tribesmen, was surrounded by a NVA infantry battalion of about 1,000 men. Benavidez heard the radio appeal for help and boarded a helicopter to respond. Armed only with a knife, he jumped from the helicopter carrying his medical bag and ran to help the trapped patrol. Benavidez "distinguished himself by a series of daring and extremely valorous actions... and because of his gallant choice to join voluntarily his comrades who were in critical straits, to expose himself constantly to withering enemy fire, and his refusal to be stopped despite numerous severe wounds, saved the lives of at least eight men." At one point in the battle an NVA soldier accosted him and stabbed him with his bayonet. Benavidez pulled it out, yanked out his own knife, killed him and kept going, leaving his knife in the NVA soldier's body. After the battle, he was evacuated to the base camp, examined, and thought to be dead. As he was placed in a body bag among the other dead in body bags, he was suddenly recognized by a friend who called for help. A doctor came and examined him but believed Benavidez was dead. The doctor was about to zip up the body bag when Benavidez managed to spit in his face, alerting the doctor that he was alive.[3](see medal citation below) Benavidez had a total of 37 separate bullet, bayonet, and shrapnel wounds from the six-hour fight with the enemy battalion.[4] Benavidez was evacuated once again to Fort Sam Houston's Brooke Army Medical Center, where he eventually recovered. He received the Distinguished Service Cross for extraordinary heroism and four Purple Hearts. In 1969, he was assigned to Fort Riley, Kansas. In 1972, he was assigned to Fort Sam Houston, Texas where he remained until retirement. [link to en.m.wikipedia.org (secure)] Brought me to tears and I'm a son of bitch. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 36094777 United States 01/09/2017 05:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | tl;dw I teach children's martial arts and on my mat "can't" is a curse word rewarded with push ups. When you use the word 'can't', you are playing the victim and giving yourself permission to stop trying. Next time you are faced with something difficult, instead of saying you 'can't' do it, rephrase it so you say, specifically, what it is you are having difficulty doing. Example, "I can't throw ogoshi". Try instead, "Throwing ogoshi is hard because I'm still learning. I'm not able to do it properly . . . yet". Removing "can't" from your vocabulary opens an unlimited realm of possibilities. |
