    @Victor Torres No one asked Monsoor to jump on a grenade, but he did it anyway, and saved his team mates from death and grievous injury. Jesus was supposedly sent by a version of himself that knew what would happen, to suffer horribly and die not to actually save anyone, but absolve literally everyone of things they had and hadn't even done yet. In other words, to create a theological loophole (if you believe in Jesus, your sins are washed clean). Sacrifice is to give up something valuable to yourself, to promote something valuable for other people. It's not a sacrifice if you were coerced into doing it, and it definitely isn't if it isn't done to actually save anyone from anything real.

To sacrifice oneself so that your brother soldiers may live is a very noble act from a man that loved life. His brother soldiers children will all learn of this remarkable man who saved their Daddy's life so that he could become a Father to them and tell them of his very special friend. In their hearts he lives on.

I was so green, young and stupid that I didn't even know they were a Bible quotation. But all these years later I remember these words every day... along with: "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them... Lest We Forget."

Is jumping on the grenade taught at training? Or is it just the instinct of the soldier to do so? Either way it's heroic.

    @@emiliovanilla6833; Sir, to jump into a grenade is not taught but it's instinct that takes over over logic and reason. Why?, because every member of your Team, Squad, Platoon, Company, Battalion, Regiment, Brigade, Division and even member of other branches are like a family, (an extremely close family),and when the ammunition start flying on your way hissing by you, Our Servicemembers only have each other, and they'll do whatever is needed when the time comes to defend his/her family. Every Officer, NCO learned throughout their first years of SERVICE that their main job is; To PROTECT the Men under your Command and to Complete the Mission, in the extreme case that you couldn't do both, your job is to complete the Mission. It is said that the definition of Courage is "to do the right thing knowing that it can cause extreme bodily harm or cost you your life". Believe me, every men who's lead men into combat knows and feels that they couldn't live with themselves if they loose men and they could've done something to prevent that, and the other thing is, "what am I going to tell his family when I go back?". So if a grenade comes in your perimeter there's NO time to warn your brothers,(a grenade fuse is 3-5 seconds since you release it from the hand), and if no one does something about it a lot more men will loose their life, some others stay back knowing that they'll pay the ultimate price so the rest of their Team or unit can go back to his/her family This are some of the things that most of the civilians take for granted and a high % don't care to the point that they despise our Servicemembers to the point of telling nasty things, insulting, makind demeaning coments because they don't know any better and don't CARE. It is said that "no one loves the sheepdog untill the wolf is on site to have a good meal". I hope that I've answered your question. SEMPER FI!.

Klein was killed in the Battle of Bint Jbeil after jumping on a grenade to save his fellow soldiers. just thought i should share the respect for those men

    I'll disagree slightly. What Michael Monsoor did he did in a matter of seconds. There was something within him that reacted by throwing himself between the threat and his buddies, an almost parental reaction of protection. Some people are born with that heightened protective reaction, in some it is something that their life experiences kick-start. There is no way to tell who will have the reaction. It is not very many, but it will be a good deal higher than .000000001%. People who become members of elite military and/or law enforcement and first response teams are probably statistically more likely to act like Michael Monsoor. Of course none of this in any way decreases his heroic act in any way whatsoever. Awarding him a Medal Of Honor and naming a ship after him? I'll bet he is getting a kick out of this in Valhalla, wondering over a tall viking ale what all of the fuss is about. He did what he was instinctively driven to do, when he had to do it, to save the lives of his comrades.

    As a Marine Corps Veteran myself I can tell you that while I was at boot camp at Parris Island during the final training event called The Crucible, that they have obstacles named after Marine and Navy Medal of Honor Winners. You would be surprised at how many Medals of Honor have been awarded for jumping on a grenade to save the rest of your teams lives!!! That takes some serious stones to do!!!! There is a Marine in South Carolina who is pretty disfigured in the face now. His name is Kyle Carpenter. He did the exact same thing and dove on a grenade in Iraq but somehow survived despite being horrible wounded and disfigured for life. He also was awarded The Medal of Honor. To give you an idea of how selfless and brave of an act you have to do to be awarded that medal... 80 percent of all The Medal of Honors awarded are posthomously awarded. That means it was so incredible what that person did that 8 out of 10 times they ended up dying in the act

Always the best look on those young men, you knew these were America's best. I always wished them well with the Teams, and gave them a "Roger that!" often in return to their own, since that was something Monsoor was known for and they'd slyly want to know how much I might know about their base. It's not advertised. These young men...always first to volunteer and go forward. Plus these young people? They would always offer an old Army vet a ride. Roger that!

    I mean... Not every "soldier" is on the frontlines, most aren't. I think it does a disservice to men like Michael Monsoor to call every person in the military a "hero," because they certainly are not all heroes; most of them aren't. Don't get me wrong, I respect all military personnel but I think "hero" status should be reserved for people like Michael who actually prove themselves by showing incomprehensible amounts of bravery, intelligence and selflessness. Edit: I'm not saying a soldier has to die to be revered as a hero, because there are many real life versions of superheroes in all branches of the military who survive their encounters with near-death, but as I said above I don't think "hero" should be tossed around so casually.
