This is what American troops do for others, to save lives, while sacrificing their own life.
I'm not sure if foreign troops will do that for each other, but Americans would do it for them too.
Staff Sgt. Michael Ollis shielded a Polish soldier from a suicide bomber.
At 3:54 a.m. on on Aug. 28, 2013, a car pulled up to Forward Operating Base Ghazni in Afghanistan. When it reached the eastern side of the base, the driver set off a 3,000-pound bomb that blew a hole in the wall.
Troops on base who ran to the blast site to aid the wounded met 10 insurgents in suicide vests, armed with assault rifles, firing mortar shells, and throwing hand grenades.

I never saw it in combat from the enemy. I figured we're the only ones since we're trained to leave no man behind. The VC and NVA would drag their dead off the battlefield, but that was so we wouldn't known how many were killed. In fact, here's a picture of how their dead were treated.

SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth - That's how much their soldiers are cared for. It is pitiful. When I see something like this, it makes me even more proud to be an American.
