How could someone be mad at this "thief"? He truly deserves to be labelled hero. Sometimes you have to do things that you normally wouldn't in order to help others but as long as your intentions are good, even stealing a truck could be forgiven.

Omas, he made a 'command decision' on the spur of the moment. And it is what combat soldiers/marines are taught to do, because it can make the difference between life and death. In this case it was a "no brainer". I don't know where you come from, but you need to seriously look within yourself.
