This guy is hardcore. Check out this part of the story...
Another incident
Nov. 8, 2010, involved the treatment of an Afghan National Army soldier
who stepped on an IED. Angell was following a Marine handling a
minesweeper to get to the wounded soldier when the Marine struck an IED.
Angell assessed the Marine’s injury before moving toward the soldier,
where he applied tourniquets to both amputated legs, administered
intravenous fluids and stabilized the soldier. As he was treating the
soldier, an explosive ordnance disposal Marine working onsite also
struck an IED, receiving minor blast injuries. After treating the three
injured men and ensuring the safe evacuation of the soldier, a firefight
broke out, resulting in a local resident being shot in the head. Angell
treated the civilian promptly and saved his life.
Angell wasn’t done yet. On Dec. 20, 2010, it was his combat skills
that shined. During a firefight, Angell killed two insurgents at
distances up to 400 meters. As the firefight continued, Angell also
acted as the assistant mortar gunner. By the end of the day, he had
fired 17 mortar rounds at enemy positions.
