And he had his whole life ahead of him but gave it up to defend
his loved ones and fellow countrymen.
This is a VERY touching video, actually a piece of film that has
been
been
made into a video, this is one that is NOT photo shopped, it's the
real scene!
Notice in the opening shot you'll see the gunner's position is all
shot to hell while the pilot's cockpit ahead of it is undamaged.
Later on notice the corpsman taking a fingerprint of the deceased
gunner, before the film continues, then showing the chaplain

None of the choices in the reaction line fit. Its certainly not funny. I can't say its interesting or cool. Its a bit sad really. Sucks that he died so far from home and never got to see his friends or family again. I think "moving" might be the word I'm looking for.
Rest in Peace.
