Given a choice to sit down for an hour to talk with any one in the world, Brian would be first choice, hands down, over any politician or celebrity.

God bless him!

Hey, you and me both DJ....yet 60 Minutes doesn't seem to see the need.....lol

Isn't it amazing with ALL the WAR stories Yahoo.Com feels are appropriate for its front page headlines (and there are ALWAYS at least 1 or 2 Iraq stories amongst the top 5), they have NEVER seen fit to tell us about this Marine?

Yahoo LOVES to report about DEATH in Iraq.....for instance, here is the CURRENT TOP HEADLINE on Yahoo:

Bombs kill 22 after deadly day in Iraq (http://www.yahoo.com/s/135781/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061124/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq)

And here we have a Marine that killed PLENTY. You'd think Yahoo would be all over this story like stink on shit, what, with their obsession with all things death related to Iraq......and yet the good Marine never made the headlines, as far as I can tell....go figure.....

What an awesome story. Thanks for posting it.

How, exactly, does one spell "u-rah?" (Is that it?)

Brian was incredibly BRAVE. And lucky. Doesn't the Pentagon have to clear all info from the battlefield, regarding all items like Brian's feats? Of course many many news outlets provide stats on "the Dead & Injured".

Hey, a loal boy from the area, and my alma mater to boot. (missed him by 20 years!)

Big story on the local news yesterday.

THIS is the stuff that needs to be reported - the mainstream media is a national disgrace. Freedom of the press really needs to be revisited.

I knew I guy once back in the Viet Nam days who did stuff like this. Two silver stars and a bronze star. I was always in awe of someone who was up to the task, but more than once blows me away.

BTW, I find myself posting those two links everywhere I can.

aaaah haaaa!


now i know what happened.
it seems that by killing 20 attackers within, close to, one hour, that the survey given by John Hopkins Un.,saying 600,00 deaths in Iraq overall are about equal.

so we can't say "we didnt here about this", it just had a little slant that being 20 deaths per hour would equal about 600,000 total Iraqi deaths.

not making light of the issue, just the absurdity of the reporting. we receive.

Hey man...You need to get with Rupert Murdoch over at Fox. He owns the big radio and TV station up there. Disney owns another, and General Electric owns the other...

You gotta check with these guys and see whats up? Maybe Fox News is anti-American or something? no?: Disney...big conservatives, ....why do they hate America so?: That they would ignore these stories?

60 minutes...? They do investigative stuff.

. About 10 companies control mainstream media . I'll tell who they are and you can talk to them if you'd like.

General Electric. Entercom, Sinclair Communications, News Corp ( fox), Disney, Viacom ( Sumner redstone) Advanced Publications ( don newhouse), Time warner ( Tribune Corp)... Gannett...

There you go... Anything you want to know about Channel 4 , 5 and 7,,,,see these guys,,, NBC, ABC and CBS. Your local newspapers...?: Chances are they own them....

Better yet.. anytime you have a question or bitch about media... go here

You forgot Clear Channel. But no matter. They're going private so who knows what's going to happen next.

Baloney. What were they investigating when they sat down for a chat with Russel Crowe?

his life

And a sit down with Chontosh, a man who fought heroically in Iraq (a topic which is covered ad-infinitum on 60 minutes) isn't more appropriate than a sit down with Russel Crowe.....

Ok then....
