He put down his gun to pick up a baby | The San Diego Union-Tribune

He put down his gun to pick up a baby | The San Diego Union-Tribune: "When Walsh and the Marines came to one doorway, M-4 rifles up and ready, a woman emerged from a room, holding an infant and saying, over and over again, %u201CBaby. Baby sick.%u201D
Walsh put his gun down and the woman put the baby down.
Walsh had seen bad things %u2013 as an EMT back home in St. Louis, and at war. But he told his comrades he had never seen anything like this: The child, just a few months old, looked as though her insides had been turned inside out."

The most remarkable thing about this story is not the Marines or the efforts they went through to save this baby. But that the mother knew that the American can and would help her child.

What do people really think of the Americans? This tells us more then all the thorax thumping that has been going on in the media for some time.
