Another American Hero

Can anyone on this planet explain why this story hasn't gotten more coverage? A U.S. Army medic is wounded by a terrorist sniper in Iraq (note: people who support and participate with groups blowing up civilians indiscriminently do not deserve the moniker of "insurgent") gets up, takes cover, has his fellow soldiers track down the sniper, then snaps the cuffs on the guy... before administering medical aid to help the guy who tried to kill him (hat tip: Instapundit). For crying out loud, they have video.

Just reading this story makes you proud to be associated with a country that produces soldiers like this. Yes, the tale of heroism is rather extraordinary -- but the character of the overwhelming majority of people we send into combat comes closer to Private Tschiderer then the buffoons at Abu Ghraib. It would be nice to see him get the same headlines they did.
