Nice article, thanks for posting.
I have a friend who was in the British army who took RPG shrapnel to the stomach and subsequently proceeded to storm the enemy line and kill three of them before allowing himself to be evacuated. He's strong guy. Hernias stop him from duty now though.
Whenever he tells the story he tells how when his commanding officer checked the injuries -- in proximity with his groin -- he said, "I have bad news! Your dick is still small!" Lol.
