There's an awesome video of President Reagan honoring this brave warrior. An Outstanding President, honoring an OUT-FUCKING-STANDING soldier and true Hero by every measure of the word.

You guys must have missed it, but I've posted about Roy Benavidez ALOT here in the past. 

There's always new stories coming out about him, but the past is always the same.  He was DEAD, they thought, and zipped up in a body bag.  When they opened the body bag to ID him, he couldn't talk, so he SPIT on them...
