He could have saved himself by moving his body instead of grabbing the grenade, but his fellow soldiers would likely have died or been severely to think they'd do the same thing," said Sgt. 1st Class Jarod Christopher Staidle, one of Petry 's fellow soldiers from the 75th Ranger Regiment who spoke to the media Thursday.

But no one could possibly know what they would do unless faced with the same situation, he said.
