The weekly radio show, Pundit Review Radio (AM680 WRKO Boston, Sundays 7-10PM), is a fantastic radio show. They have a terrific segment called "Someone you should know" where they highlight a US military hero from the War on Terror. This week they featured New Hampshire resident and citizen soldier SPC. Richard “Buddy” Ghent. Listen to the podcast for a real feeling for his heroism. And Thank you, SPC. Ghent.

Armed only with a 9mm pistol. Facing insurgents who had just blown up his Humvee, wounded him with shrapnel and a gun shot wound to the back, killed his best friend and badly wounded his sergeant, he charged. With a pistol. Against unwounded insurgents with assault rifles.
He charged them.
And he drove them off and held his position until relieved by another element of his platoon. With a pistol.
