#1 I find this story amazing on so many levels: 1. Lt. Rice survived. 2. He was able to notify his father and girlfriend in London that he had been shot and he was all right. 3. After the shooting, he actually smoked a cigarette! This is the most amazing to me - everyone knows that smoking is bad for your health and should be banned . I wonder if Lt Rice had been shot in England if he would have even been treated, since he obviously had a death wish, and treating him would have cost money when he was only going to die anyway from the cigarettes. /sarcasm
