He was reported to French DGSE by Spanish security, why did the French fail to follow him up and allowed him to purchase AK47 and some grenades and stuff? French failed. US and UK individuals had to do the hard work. Shape of things to come? No, it always was like this.

Hero Airman That Stopped Terror Attack On French Train Nominated For Air Force’s Highest Award For Bravery Outside Of Combat…

He also qualifies for the Purple Heart for being wounded in a terrorist attack unless the powers that be believe it was a ‘botched train robbery’.

The Air Force will nominate Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone for the Airman’s Medal, the highest award for bravery outside of combat, the service’s secretary said Monday.

Stone, together with Oregon Army National Guard Spc. Alek Skarlatos, a civilian friend and a British civilian, halted a gunman on a passenger train from Amsterdam to Paris last week, tackling him to the ground before anyone was injured in the attack.

“Had it not been for this heroic quartet, I’m quite sure that today we would be sitting here discussing a bloodbath,” Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James told reporters during a briefing at the Pentagon."

Good for him. He certainly deserves it. In the Army it's called the Soldier's Medal. A Drill Sergeant in my Company got one when driving home one night he saw a car go off the road and land in a lake. Late at night, dark, and alone, he dove in, managed to find the car, smashed a window with a rock from the lake bed, and dragged out a woman and her kid. Both survived.
