What are some modern non-American war-heroes? I mean NATO has been at war in the Middle-East for almost 2 decades now. Surely Americans aren't the only ones kicking ass?

Pic related. Joshua Leakey (VC). He was awarded the VC for pretty much relieving 2 machine gun positions from being overrun, when a USMC captain was wounded. He took command of the situation as a LCpl, and managed to beat the enemy back.

A bunch of PWRR (Prince of Wales Royal Regiment) did a bayonet charge under fire in Afghan.

The last time was in Argentina in 1982.

to be honest if you were to list just British heroes we would be here all night, we've been in every major conflict since the 60's.

Can you be a hero if your "cause" is rather pointless?

Afghanistan or the middle east didnat became better place in general unfortunately.

You don't become a hero by shooting goat herders for money.

Don't make this thread political faggot, OP is asking for examples of acts of valor from non American soldiers in modern war.

This. I'm just getting a little tired of all the depictions in the media, and how it's ALWAYS Americans...(yes I know hollywood would naturally make films about Americans).

OP title was a reference to this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb1BeZf3ros
