to another hero and to those that refused to help.

"I thought, 'This is the end.' But, at the same time, I asked the Lord to protect and save me," Cpl. Toloza recalled.
The wounded were placed on a truck while Cpl. Toloza and the three other soldiers moved on the ground, trying to make their way back to the base. They were soon confronted with Sheik al-Sadr's fighters, about 10 of whom tried to seize one of the soldiers.
"My immediate reaction was that I had to defend my friend, and the only thing I had in my hands was a knife," Cpl. Toloza said.
As reinforcements arrived to save Cpl. Toloza's unit, the two camps were under attack, with the Salvadorans and a small U.S. contingent of soldiers and civilian security personnel trying to protect the perimeter and retake an adjoining seven-story hospital captured by the insurgents.
The Spaniards didn't fight and only after a long delay agreed to send armored vehicles to help evacuate the wounded

for the record the spanish shooters have good rep for kicking bellybutton also. would not be wise to conclude anything about spanish or other warrior tradition based on stupid political "orders from above". if you read about dumb decision in combat zone its safe bet no shooter had any say when the call was made. spanish shooters have done lots of good lately and they will continue but it will be in other places than iraq.

Salvadoran officers, many of whom were trained at military schools in the United States, say they're pleased to be working with the Americans.

Well that might explain their valor in combat. No question, though, those guys aren't afraid of a little firefight and will go down swinging. Cpl. Toloza could use a better knife!
