Vets: did you ever witness uncommon valor?

[whitehall]

I saw a Marine Staff Sgt and a Cpl. hop in a jeep and ride over a mine field to rescue injured Marine engineers. the Jeep trailer was riddled with shrapnel and the SGT was wounded in the arm.

Division histories are filled with acts of valor,

a lot of it is ''uncommon'''
.....huge groups of humans with modern weapons trying to kill the other group is not common .......

....is this ''more'' heroic/less common than the Marine/soldier who goes into a combat zone/combat/attacks the enemy/stands his ground/--etc--with rounds flying all over the place---knowing an IED/mine could be anywhere?

I guess you were one of those "soldiers" who had a more philosophical viewpoint of their job. I hope you didn't get anybody killed.
