"In the ensuing struggle, Corporal Dunham noticed the Iraqi insurgent
had a grenade . . . and immediately alerted his fellow Marines as he
wrestled the Iraqi to the ground.

"Aware of the imminent danger to his Marines and without hesitation,
Corporal Dunham threw himself on the grenade and used his body to bear
the brunt of the explosion, shielding his Marines from the blast."

An officer would've thrown the insurgent on the grenade, thereby saving
both himself and his men.
