The Right Stuff

I'm late to the game here, but from Soldiers' Angels Germany comes the story of Staff Sgt. Brandon Camacho, just awarded his fifth Purple Heart (!). His platoon has started calling him "Bullet Magnet":
[The bullet] tore a hole through his 10th Mountain Division patch and through a pack of cigarettes in his arm pocket, destroying all but one.

“So I pulled it out and had myself a cigarette.”
And there's also the story of British Lt. Adamson, awarded the Military Cross for an impromptu bayonet charge that killed two Taliban. He's single, ladies. Cruise on over and oogle a hero.
