Doing my job...?

Item in the Daily Mail, here in England...

[CaptO]

I'd say he had a better right to say "doing my job" then the rest of those jokers who said "only doing my job" as they mass murdered thousands of people. I had never heard that he may have only accounted fro 100 or so casualties before retiring. I had heard the normal large figures, but that would have accounted for a great percentage of all casualties on Omaha if that were true.

Sorry it's in French

I am in complete agreement with Capt. O's post above. This soldier was facing enemy combatants on the battlefield...not helpless civilians. He deserves the praise of his fellow soldiers for his actions...just as American soldiers like Audey Murphy, John Basilone and countless others did. Their actions in both cases probably saved many of their comrades from becoming casualties.
