What I actually mean, for anyone that's still struggling... Soldiers do acts of bravery in a battle zone regularly, selfless acts that put their own lives at risk. They don't all get the Victoria Cross. And while this man is undoubtedly a hero and should be recognised publically in some way, I don't believe the George Medal is suitable in this case.

Soldiers are trained to react to situations though and whilst I understand your point, I think a civilian stepping in when a gun and a knife are involved is particularly brave.
