This is an absolutely incredible story. It will give you chills when you watch this video.
Channing Moss was impaled by a live RPG. Channing Moss should be dead. His crew, medical specialists and helicopter pilots “broke protocol” and risked their lives trying to save him. I was jaw-dropped reading this story.
This will most likely not hit the mainstream, so we need to make sure it gets out to bloggers and talk radio. This story needs to be heard by every American.
March 16, 2006. Southeastern Afghanistan. A fierce ambush and bloody firefight. It was over in a flash and Moss was left on the verge of death.
He was impaled through the abdomen with a rocket-propelled grenade, and an aluminum rod with one tail fin protruded from the left side of his torso.
His fellow soldiers worried: Could he blow up and take them with him? For all anyone knew, the answer was yes.
Still, over the course of the next couple of hours, his buddies, a helicopter crew and a medical team would risk their own lives to save his.
Spc. Channing Moss should be dead by all accounts. And those who saved his life did so knowing they might have died with him…
…Protocol, as far as Oh [the surgeon] knew, dictated that someone in Moss’s condition be placed in a sandbagged bunker and listed as “expectant,” which means he would be expected to die because nothing could be done for him.
But Oh believed something could be done for the wounded soldier before him.
He “was still talking to me,” Oh recalled. He choked back tears as he explained: “When he comes in like that, there’s no way you can give up at that point.”
After the EOD team arrived, Oh warned the volunteers one last time that the surgery could cost everyone their lives.
The operating room crew prepped Moss for surgery…
