DESPITE being shot twice during an ambush in Afghanistan, an SAS soldier lashed himself to the front of his patrol vehicle so he wouldn't be left behind if he passed out from loss of blood and kept on fighting.

The Digger is expected to be recommended for a high level bravery award.

Suffering from serious upper body wounds, the soldier struggled on to the front of his SAS long range patrol vehicle (LRPV) and, under heavy fire, used a rope to attach himself firmly between the vehicle's bull bar and radiator.

Once he was secured, and there was no chance that he would fall off if he fainted, he picked up his rifle and resumed firing at the enemy during a two-hour fighting withdrawal.

now that dude has some big balls

That plus he is a WARRIOR in the truest sense of the word. May the free world have a plenty.

Men such as this are why the Jihadists will fail.

Somehow I really doubt he lashed himself down because he was afraid of being left behind... Stupid Journalists...

He lashed himself so his brothers could wreak more havoc and not have to carry him. THAT is heroism and fighting spirit.

Not to mention getting some of his own. I am truly in awe. Dedication taken to a whole new level.

Yeah, this guy takes "BADASS" to a whole new level! I wouldn't be surprised to see this written into some new action movie scrip soon considering how tired most of their stuff is...real tough guys get noticed.
