Cpl. Matthew Phillips was close by, so Stafford called to him for help. Phillips was preparing to throw a grenade and shot a look at Stafford that said, "Give me a second. I gotta go kill these guys first."

This was only about 30 to 60 seconds into the attack.

The media also makes our US forces sound like a bunch of wimps. We have some very brave heroes out there.

(Homer voice) The media! I hate them so much!
