It says a lot about the culture we live in.

No, it does not say a lot about the culture we presently live in. The exploits of soldiers and/or warriors have been bragged about since time began.....written history is overflowing with examples.

In a separate incident, Bill and James found themselves looking up at a large dark object screaming out of the sky directly above them - a 220-kilogram American bomb.

"We hit the deck and covered our heads with our hands," said James. The bomb landed 30 metres away, nose in, and never went off.

"By the grace of God, it was a dud," said Bill. "It landed 15 metres from the B company (U.S. 101st Airborne Division) trenches. A guy got up, walked out of the trench and kicked the thing."

I guess that's one thing to do when you should have been killed by it. Now imagine if it lands, all is quiet, and everyone gets up realizing that they've survived being bombed by a dud.. One soldier walks over and kicks it and it explodes, everyone dies... I would love to see that ass kicking he'd get in front of the pearly gates LR

The soldier involved in this matter is a customer of ours and while we have spoken of many things involving his stint in the military he has never brought up the subject in question nor have I asked him about it. I'm sure he knows that I am aware of of his accomplishment. He is a very humble man who is proud of his service but doesn't need to keep bringing up the past. Phil.

Admirable, remarkably so.
