I love his emphasis on the fact that healing comes from vulnerability. He openly states that the strongest thing you can do is to admit "I can't do it alone." Powerful stuff. Nothing but respect

I've had my collar bone broken, right foot crushed with six fractures requiring two operations, left elbow shattered requiring two operations, three cracked ribs, six bones broken in right hand, multiple toes broken and one bad second degree burn (accident prone, no combat, I fall upstairs) but with all that medical issues nothing could match having to stick your finger into your femoral artery while being in a active ambush. No words....

Dude, do not regret that decision! Fk training. Do what you think is best. Either blocking to save him or going after the shooter are the two best moves. I know the army spent a ton of money to train you and they do not want that investment wasted, but we are all in charge of our own lives and have to live with ourselves. Kudos.
