I have always been a fan of the Rangers since i was a kid because i liked their job and style especially the 80s and 90s generations.This man was a hard as nails professional who had a great career.America should be grateful it can still produce men like this.

This is something all Americans should remember. Freedom comes at the price of bravery, and thus the land of the free, home of the brave. Something the recent generation don't know or forget.

An impressive, selfless and thought provoking act of heroism.

I hate that he lost his arm but i do lover hearing these stories of American military kicking ass. Those dudes never cease to impress me

[briansmith]

15 years?! Hopefully they gave him a full medical retirement with all benefits?!

Noticed on his dress blues he has the Canadian jump wings which is pretty cool shows the American and Canadian militaries close ties

Better to kick the grenade then pick it up?

So the Nephilim shot it off using the Dazzler, got it

[gousiam]

I think He would never sacrifice like that again after watching the army ads about Emma n
her two mom's

[nonyabiz]

fake. there's no way he'd be able to move that quick to grab the grenade with Balls that big. they'd be dragging all over the place slowing him down.

[tonytaf]

Well, he lost a hand but he can still always remember that his service allowed oil's lords to get even richer. He must be proud

[DarthVader-ymmk]

Afghanistan? He lost his hand for nothing

[boikanyoonneng]

Of course he did. Americans are the suckingest hand to hand combatants. Heck most of NATO sucks in hand to hand combat. If you want Army Rangers that dont lose their hands during combat look at South Korean, North Korean, Chinese and Japanese Hand to hand combat specialists.
