The Commando Who Refused to die is airing tonight at 9pm on Forces TV featuring the remarkable story of Blesma Member Corporal Paul Vice. Paul was injured in an explosion in Afghanistan in 2011. More than 400 pieces of shrapnel and stones were removed from his body and he also suffered a broken neck and severed artery in his throat. The father-of-four, who was awarded the Military Cross for his bravery during two previous incidents, received more than 114 wounds to his torso. Injuries sustained in the attack caused ongoing problems with his left leg which he has now chosen to have it amputated so he can play with his children. Before his operation Cpl Vice said: The leg is crap - it does not do anything and I call it the wet fish. It does not do anything but cause me gip and pain and it cannot get any worse. I live in the here and now and my sole aim is to look after and give my children and family the best life they can get.
