This reminds me of a marine who did the same thing, however, he did not survive it.

This Sailor received the CMOH for giving his life in order to save 2 fellow SEALs in Iraq.

Its amazing how he was barely hurt from that, surely a grenade would destroy most things let a lone a back pack

Wow, to do that and survive almost unharmed! God has some more plans for him.

 

[brendanryder]

when i was in the army we had an exercise with live hand grenades. the idea was to throw it over a wall and duck. a nearby trench was there for the case someone drops the grenade. of course someone dropped the grenade. the sargent jumped into the trench, the soldier slipped and fell right next to the grenade. the sargent jumped out of the trench, kicked the grenade away and pulled the soldier into the trench and the grenade went off a fraction of a second blanketing everything with shrapnel.

there are good people and i'm not sure if i would jump out of safety to safe others. these people deserve the highest respect.

Yeah, first thing I thought.......shoddy workmanship on the part of the grenade manufacturer. Must have skimped on the explosive powder inside.

Thats what the sargent is trained to do. Protect those in his charge, Maybe reem them out afterward, but protect them.

The M67 grenade does pack a wallop. Got to throw one in basic too.
