Although wounded by mortar fragments, Capt. Jacobs assumed command of the allied company, ordered a withdrawal from the exposed position and established a defensive perimeter. Despite profuse bleeding from head wounds which impaired his vision, Capt. Jacobs, with complete disregard for his safety, returned under intense fire to evacuate a seriously wounded adviser to the safety of a wooded area where he administered lifesaving first aid. He then returned through heavy automatic weapons fire to evacuate the wounded company commander. Capt. Jacobs made repeated trips across the fire-swept open rice paddies evacuating wounded and their weapons. On three separate occasions, Capt. Jacobs contacted and drove off Viet Cong squads who were searching for allied wounded and weapons, single-handedly killing three and wounding several others.

His gallant actions and extraordinary heroism saved the lives of one U.S. adviser and 13 allied soldiers

2. He didnt talk about himself, I have seen him before he is way too humble for that

Our military has been turned into an empire police force and used wrongly all the time

But many who serve are good people

3. Yes they are

and you are right..many times our military has been used as a universal police force.. for political reason.
