my sister's father in law served as a radio operator in a helo...his bronze star citation said he lept out of the helo, cut down six enemy NVA regulars, saved two wounded soldiers, and dragged one mortally wounded guy back the chopper...saving the day like audie fucking murphy....
real version: according to the man himself: helo took off, he fell out, busted his ass, shot his rifle at anyone in the vicinity until the helo picked his ass up....received unending razzing from his buddies...
