Al-Salihi’s sniper skills were honed by none other than the Russian military, and he put them to use in the battle against ISIS. His journey took him from the Battle of Jurf Al Nasr to the rugged terrain of the Makhoul Mountains in northern Iraq.



Tragically, Abu Tahsin al-Salihi fell in action during the anti-ISIS offensive against Hawija, Iraq. His funeral, held on September 30, 2017, marked the end of an era—a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of a man who epitomized the spirit of a hawk-eyed warrior.



Unfortunately he was killed by ISIS on September 29, 2017.
Iranian thugs killed him. He was shot in the back of his head on a mission. Just after he gave interview and said he served on the Iraqi side in the Iran-Iraq war. Saying that means traitor these days. 
Like a german saying he fought communists or whatever bad thing in ww2, NAZI label instant.

Cheng Benhua was a resistance fighter who gave her life defending her home country of China against the Japanese Imperial Army.  She has become a symbol of bravery in the face of death and unspeakable abuse.  Not long before striking this defiant pose, Cheng Benhua was repeatedly abused by her Japanese captors.  Despite the awareness that she would soon be killed, she still managed to put on a devious smile that made it seem like she was taunting the soldiers around her. Cheng Benhua's unwavering courage in the face of death has become an iconic representation of fearless resistance.

A U.S. marine gives a cigarette to an injured Japanese soldier, buried in the sand at the battle of Iwo Jima in 1945. Equipped with a grenade, the soldier lay in ambush for 36 hours. Marines spotted him concealed in the dark sand and managed to dislodge the grenade out of his reach. Although he surrendered, the cautious Marines suspected potential booby traps and approached carefully. At his request, he was given a cigarette, and thereafter, they cautiously removed him from the shell hole.
