First living recipient since Vietnam, there have been 4 total in the War in Afghanistan. And please have some respect by referring to him by his rank (Staff Sgt.) and full name.
He not only stepped in to lead his unit when his squad leader was shot, but when one of his fellow soldiers was being carried away by terrorists, he sprinted to the rescue. Two men were carrying him away and he shot them both. Killed one and wounded the other. A true patriot and hero deserving of America’s highest honor. Not enough good publicity is given to men like him. God Bless America and the United States Military
It is. He basically charged a group of hadjis with only his personal weapon and grenades, hazed the shit outta them and made them run away single handedly.

15 years ago at 8:21 pmI don’t think he meant disrespect at all by his post. It’s quite obvious that he meant the opposite. So don’t be a douche bag. “bro.”

15 years ago at 8:18 pmStaff Sgt Guinta should get whatever seat he wanted at the Super Bowl. 50 yd line? Check. Bench? Scoot over Byron Pledgewich.
15 years ago at 9:16 pmI hope to be half as good as him one day. That’s a true hero
15 years ago at 9:16 pmAbsolutely, total, hats off and stand up, even if you’re watching from the frat castle move. The man deserves respect. TAmericanPatriotM.
15 years ago at 9:29 pmDid they say what he did to earn it. It is extremely uncommon to earn it and still live. It is probably an amazing story.
