The Times obituary: Staff-Sergeant Olaf Schmid | Times Online Obituary
He was not a military aviator, but I couldn't help posting the touching times obituary for Staff Sgt Olaf Schmid.
In a campaign where the word hero is so widely used, what word can we use to describe someone who's individual courage is so far beyond even our current understanding of the activities in the Afghan theatre.
I would use the title the Afghans themselves award and salute a Lion of a man.
