Colonel Jack H. Jacobs: Medal Of Honor Recipient In Vietnam

fau.edu

From the article:

===> "The enemy continued to shower them with mortars and machine gun fire. Jacobs had to take command since the senior officers were either dead or seriously wounded. He had been wounded in the head by a mortar fragment and was bleeding profusely. His vision was impaired by the flow of blood from his head.

He saw a wounded man out in the open. Despite his wounds and poor vision, he went out to bring the man in under intense enemy fire. His administration of first aid saved a man's life. Jacobs then went out again to bring in the wounded company commander. He made repeated trips into the field to bring in the wounded and weapons while the enemy continued to rake the area with mortar and machine gun fire.

On three separate occasions, he contacted and drove off the enemy patrols that were looking for the allied wounded and weapons. Jacobs single-handedly killed three Viet Cong soldiers and wounded many more." <===

You just say that you don't trust America so that you don't have to do anything for America or for your fellow Americans.
