Amazing Footage of US Marine taking Fire and being Hit by Machine Gun Taliban down a
This guy has got balls of steel he gets hit like three or four times i must say though its his own fault in a way because why would you try and move down when the enemy has a spot on you and you are not even with your squad and there is not much cover but still i salute this man for his bravery

I just don't get it...why would you advanced by yourself directly downhill without coverage and firing randomly?

You don't. That's why he got hit. If (for some reason) he had to break away from his squad and move independently, he should have made his way along the hilltop (where there was less chance to get hit) to the right where there were large rocks to take up cover behind, and then move down with the rocks. It would have given him a much better (and safer) firing position. By going down that hill by himself, he's not only putting himself in danger, but now at least one other guy has to go down and drag him out, so he's also putting that guy in danger too.
Anybody who joins the military to fight for their country is brave and should be honored. But then there's that fine line between brave and stupid. Everything this guy did was undisciplined, with the sole exception of not breaking down when he got shot (a shot which he took like a champ). There is absolutely no reason to move down a ridge like that, ever. He was not following his training at all.
