Airman to Receive Air Force’s Highest Non-Combat Honor for Taking Down Terrorist
Great job by this airman who was involved in taking down a terrorist before he could fully launch his attack:
The Air Force is awarding Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone its highest noncombat honor, the Airman’s Medal, for his heroic actions aboard a Paris-bound train, the Air Force announced Monday.
Stone, Alek Skarlatos and college friend Anthony Sadler took down a gunman wielding an AK-47 and box cutter as he began an assault on a high-speed train headed for Paris late Friday.
The trio have been hailed as heroes in France, where they were awarded the Legion of Honor, France’s highest honor, on Monday by French President Francois Hollande.
“What the gunman did not expect was a confrontation with our very own Captain America. Believe it or not, that is what Airman Stone’s friends nicknamed him during Air Force technical training,” Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James told reporters Monday when announcing the medal.
If it had not been for Stone’s actions, James said, “I’m quite sure today we would be sitting here considering a bloodbath.” [Stars & Stripes]

Train Gunman or alleged subway Korean gunman was tackled, placed in a chokehold, and then hogtied by 3 “foreign” English teachers on a Seoul, S. Korean subway. Those English teachers were questioned and are now being held in separate S. Korea prisons for attacking an alleged Korean gunman while tens of thousands fill Seoul streets in protest against “foreigners.” The alleged gunman or “terrorist”(hard working young jeopdaebu by profession) says the guns were fake or just play guns and the “guns” have yet to be found by S. Korean police. A fourth man has emerged to be the hero but wanted to remain anonymous. It doesn’t look good for the “foreigners” in S. Korea after they were just trying to stop a “terrorist” while no awards have been given to the “foreign” prison inmates.

Wow, that is BADAZZ!
In other news, Tbone, that really was wrong to just attack a guy making threats on the train with what he admits were fake guns. Those senseless attackers sure have mud on their faces now! You should try this on a plane. Just yell that you have a bomb and see everyone get mud all over their faces too.
