Badass Aussie Soldier Sets New Benchmark For Mind-Blowing Badassness

Wow

Daaammmnnn:

Despite being shot twice during an ambush in Afghanistan, an SAS soldier lashed himself to the front of his patrol vehicle so he wouldn't be left behind if he passed out from loss of blood and kept on fighting... Suffering from serious upper body wounds, the soldier struggled on to the front of his SAS long range patrol vehicle (LRPV) and, under heavy fire, used a rope to attach himself firmly between the vehicle's bull bar and radiator. Once he was secured... he picked up his rifle and resumed firing at the enemy... SAS troops and their special forces comrades from the Commando Regiment are well aware of the slow and painful death that awaits them if they are captured by the Taliban.

By "slow and painful death" they mean "getting skinned alive on webcam by Taliban savages." Make sure you click through through to rest of the article, if only for the line "emptying several magazines as volleys of enemy rounds and rocket propelled grenades rained down around him."
