fair play, i certainly wouldent be picking up the explosive device

If it was a matter of life or death and there was a relatively small space and a guaranteed end to your life, i'd throw that sucker back asap.

News just in

The Taliban muppet is suing the soldier/MOD for throwing the grenade back.
A splinter went into his finger and is looking for £2,000,000,000 damages

The taxpayer will be picking up the bill.
He will also be given a house and 4 cars in a plush part of London.

Our hero soldier has been arrested and will probably get 20 years.

Says the MOD.

What is this? Daily Mail RSS?

That's him.

Took some damage, though nothing hiding behind an empty barrel for 15 seconds didn't fix.

Just pulling the pin, cooking and lobbing a nade is scary enough (no, thats not a cod experience, thats real), but picking one up and throwing it back? Christ....
.....top man!

3-4 seconds is a long time when counted out. Cooking a grenade....now thats scary as ****.

Still quick reactions, steady nerves. Top lad
