Part 2. Us Army Creed. continued from previous post;
Possibly, Jared should have just left a wounded, writhing soldier there to wonder when the next wave of mortar fire was going to come crashing down on him? Was that the right decision to make? Your ex - Army and you feel it was a "tactical error". Amazing. My question then to you is, What if it was you out there? Would you have wanted Jared C. Monti to come out and save you? Should he have just left you behind as you lay there wounded and focused his energy on the other men in the battalion? What if it was your brother, dedicated comrade or friend? I guess we know your thoughts. Having had the opportunity to meet the 13 surviving members of the 10th Mtn division who were on the mountain that day, they are most appreciative of Jared Monti's efforts. See, while he was desperately trying to save one man's life (which you construe as a tactical error), he was calmly calling in help and assistance. Thirteen men survived that day against a force of 70 as a result of Jared and his team, killing over 24 Taliban attacking from all sides and fighting the insurgents back. His efforts saved not one who sadly was killed through what truly was a comedy of errors. No cable should break. That I agree with you. However, 13 others did survive to fight another day, which they do. God Bless them. They are now defending your freedom. We all have the right to the first amendment and you have opted to use it in a way all of us who have read this post feel is beyond comprehension. In order to receive the MOH, the supreme commander of the US Army up through the President have to approve the honor utilizing the guidelines very specifically written. See, it is the highest honor given to any soldier and the throughout time, only 3477 have been awarded (that is 1 in a million soldiers who have fought, defended, and even died for your ability to live freely; even impart your views however inappropriate). God Bless Paul Monti and Mrs. Lybert who's hearts were not broken, but crushed. I cannot fathom their loss. You should be ashamed of yourself for hitting the submit comment button. By the way, Jared was my nephew, my friend, a true American Hero, and lived and died the Creed. He knew it frontwards and backwards.

I find your comments beyond fathomable. As an retired Us Army Man/Woman you should know the Creed. Possibly you forgot it or never believed in it to have insensitively written this letter knowing the mother of Lybert and father of Monti both have perused this article. So maybe I will take a minute to remind you what you should know deep in your heart.

I am an American Soldier.
I am a Warrior and a member of a team.
I serve the people of the United States and live the Army Values.

I will always place the mission first.
I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit.
I will never leave a fallen comrade.

I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills.
I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.
I am an expert and I am a professional.
I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the
United States of America in close combat.
I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.
I am an American Soldier.

You see, in the seventh line down it states "i will never leave a fallen comrade".
