This sniper incident occured in 2005. I never knew about the soldier or the latter outcome. The captured film was shown to the Theatre Commander, Gen George Casey, & the assembled Div Commanders plus the MNF-I HQ Operations Room staff in Baghdad not long after it had been obtained. It was regarded as a positive confirmation of the body armour. If I recall the briefing correctly, we were told that the sniper & his spotter were both confused as to why the soldier was able to get back up, & the spotter even accused the sniper of missing (but I'm not confident on this last part as it's been a few years since I was in that room).

Incredible moment. Those little bastards indeed.
Retired Army Combat Medic here. One of the very first things we learned about in training was our Geneva Convention obligations to treat the enemy. We are required to treat all patients with impartiality NO MATER WHAT and this EXACT scenario was discussed as an example: “If you survive being shot by the enemy and we wound the shooter in retaliation, you are legally obligated to do everything in your power to save his life.“ Naturally, this prompted many to respond with incredulity -“No way. I’d just let him die” ect. I am SO PROUD to see a fellow soldier medic do the right thing when it counts. ❤️❤️
