WOUNDED HERO KILLS TALIBAN FIGHTER FROM HIS HOSPITAL BED
"A BRITISH soldier was hailed a hero yesterday for shooting dead a Taliban fighter from his field hospital bed.


Private Anthony Myers, 19, was being treated for his wounds after being shot in the shoulder as he battled insurgents in Afghanistan.

As he lay bleeding and in pain in a medical centre tent, he spotted two armed Taliban preparing to kill injured troops. He leapt up and shot one, alerting colleagues who shot the second. "

Hmm well jsut for the record various other forums frequented by serving soldiers seem to think that the facts of this are a bit cloudy and dubious.

What is disturbing is that the TA are being used on the frontline proper. :eek:
