Of course, stillhere, it is a very rare thing.
Not as rare as showing bravery when under heavy enemy fire, since the Dominican military is a stay-at-home military, there to protect the government (and their wives) from the people.

The Dominican Navy has a big hole to crawl out of due to the corrupt officer corp that is heavily involved in drugs ...the admiral above I hope at least has clean hands
