I've been shot before in combat but nothing like this.

Code:

As their dawn raid on a Taliban position commenced, Mononey and another machine gunner were positioned on a rooftoop overwatch position to provide support. Suddenly 30 Taliban fighters engaged the patrol from all directions in horseshoe ambush.

Moments into the fight Lance Corporal Moloney was struck in the throat by a tracer round which passed clean through. “It winded me like I’ve never been winded. I was thinking “I’ve been shot in the neck, it’s game over. I figured I had minutes left.”

The bullet passed just behind his windpipe, missing arteries by millimeters.

“When after a couple of minutes I was not dead and I could still talk I started to get a better feeling,” he said. “We had to crack on. They were pushing quite hard so it was either maybe die or definitely die because they would have over-run us.”

article-2585746-1C72C9C600000578-238_634x558 Lance Corporal Masters was pinned down almost 300 meters from Moloney’s position when he heard “MAN DOWN!” crackle over his radio. Without thinking twice, Masters sprinted through Taliban fire to reach his wounded brother in two minutes, carrying over 120 pounds of gear. Anyone who’s had to move any length of distance in the Afghan heat, can appreciate a 300m sprint in full kit.
When Masters finally reached his position Moloney told him “Do what you need to do, I have to get back in.” Masters began improvising with field dressings, and forcing them into the wound in an attempt to stop the bleeding. The attempt was successful, as Moloney was able to continue fighting for another 90 minutes, until his platoon commander finally ordered that he leave his position for further medical treatment.
Despite the injury to his throat, Moloney continued shouting information and orders to his team during the fight, and when his evac chopper arrived, he refused to leave the battlefield, having to be ordered aboard.

The Lance Corporal returned to Britain for further treatment, but pushed to get back in fight and was with his brothers in Afghanistan again in under a month.

My respect goes to him.

This man is a living miracle, and I'm happy he got out alive.

My condolences all go to him.

Wow, that's brave as hell. I don't how you do that..

All my respect to him and his squad.

Bravery isn't all that was involved. When you're in combat, you are with your brother and sisters in arms. You will do what you need to do get them safe, sometimes overlooking your own safety.

I can see how that would be easy to do.. it must be pretty rough.

That's amazing, mad respect to him.
Fighting 90 minutes after such an injury is beyond impressive.
He obviously cares for his brothers, sisters, along with what he's doing, it's rare to find such people.

[Satan]

Major balls and honour. Could use more like him.

[Suicide]

That is fucking crazy. That guy is a warrior.

That must have been an insane experience. I can't even begin to image what its like to be shot. Killua, how bad is it?

Every experience is obviously different. It umm... hurts? Lol. However you need to take in account of the adrenaline that goes on as well. At first I didn't even know I had been shot, but once you see your own blood, shock takes affect and you need to try to remain calm (Not easy, the pain was horrible.) But as for this guy, I couldn't imagine being shot in the throat, milometers from death.
