This guy only gets the second highest honor instead of the first, for taking on 30 taliban militants? That is sad.

Hey at least he was recognized and honored for taking on 30 taliban soldiers at once. The surprising thing was that the Taliban were firing at him from all sides for 15 minutes with ak-47 and RPGs and he still survived through all that! That is really astonishing.

Whatever, he was honored and his heroic acts were recognized world-wide! There's always something to complain about...
