Can you watch this with no tears?

The story is about Channing Moss, who was impaled by a live RPG during
a Taliban ambush while on patrol. Army protocol says that medivac
choppers are never to carry anyone with a live round in him. Even
though they feared it could explode, the flight crew said damn the
protocol and flew him to the nearest aid station. Again, protocol said
that in such a case the patient is to be put in a sandbagged area away
from the surgical unit, given a shot of morphine and left to wait (and
die) until others are treated. Again, the medical team ignored the
protocol. Here's a short video put together by the Military Times,
which includes actual footage of the surgery where Dr. John Oh, a
Korean immigrant who became a naturalized citizen and went to West
Point , removed the live round with the help of volunteers and a
member of the EOD (explosive ordinance disposal) team. Moss has
undergone six operations but is doing well at home in Gainesville,
GA. I think you'll find the video absolutely remarkable.
