Yep. She became an electronics engineer. And Doohan received an honorary degree in engineering because of the number of people he inspired.

I saved a man's life after witnessing a bike accident on Christmas morning three years ago.
Asurop
That's amazing! Would you like to make a post and tell us the full story? This site needs more heroic stories like yours.
Tassyr
I replied to waitbutactually below. I dunno if it's 'Heroic.' I just kept a guy from walking away after an accident when you get down to it.
Asurop
Sorry, I just read the story. That was impressive, though ;)
Tassyr
No worries, hah. Honestly it was a lot of near-panic and "No, seriously, dude, don't get up. You don't want to. Just wait a bit."
Asurop
I can relate to that near-panic feeling. But a lot of us would do the opposite in those situation and make it worse. Kudos for your actions.

Right on, buddy.

I'd like to say I was heroic, calm and cool. But I felt like I was half a breath from panic the entire time.

That's like the complete definition of courage right there. Getting stuff done while half a breath from panic.

Even if you did panic, you did the right thing. As a first responder I have to say thanks and you did better than most would.
Tassyr
Hell, most of what I did was insisting he not move and wait for an ambulance. Dude had a fractured skull (among other shit) and didn't know.

Are they more significantly prone to failure than name brand condoms?
ProfessorYaffle
They're all made by the same two companies Durex and Trojan then they print a different brand on the box. Like most other things.

Only time a condom actually broke for me, was a Trojan. I've used both name brand and off-brand, that was the only one that broke.

Well in war 1 soldier doesn't make that much a difference (most the time, excluding the badasses) but here he directly saved a life

The account of his actions on D-Day place him firmly in the badass category. He personally shot two snipers, and lead his men (he was an 1/2
DavidBrooker
officer in the Royal Canadian Artillery) safely through fields of anti-tank mines. Later, as an artillery observer, he gained a nickname 2/3

"the craziest pilot in the RCAF" - which is remarkable being he was in the Army, and not the Air Force. 3/3

War occurs when diplomacy and the ability to fucking reason with people fails. Heroes of war are picking up the slack of another's failure.

When you praise actual acts of heroism it's respect. When you expect everyone to be heroes, you're being romantic.
Radix865
I think the point is that very few soldiers consider themselves to be heroes, it's those that weren't there that do.

Exactly. Which is exactly why this man considers saving this girls life more important than being part of D-Day.

Besides, can't both situations be great? Mourn the dead of war, but a fight against evil is tragic, and necesaary.

Thats not the point. Its not a 'should we have stopped the Nazis' its 'does that feel more fulfilling than helping someone without killing'
