He's the kind of guy who sounds angry telling you happy birthday.

My hubby served in Nam from 67-69 until his tank was hit with an rpg during the Tet offensive. His driver and commander were blown completely out and my hubby caught the rim of the turret with his heels and was able to stay in the tank. He was covered in shrapnel and had his ears blown out. When he was discharged, he joined the navy for two more years. He passed three years ago from agent orange damage to his heart, so yes...Vietnam finally killed him. Rest in peace, Denny. Youre my hero💜

Never have I heard a Navy Seal talk so much about their greatness.

[PsalmMiracle]

What most young folks don’t realize he really did all that and became a very famous actor but still stands his ground a a military man and I respect him

Man- the drive and stamina the seals have is with upmost respect. I was never a seal. This guys deserves some respect. God bless and thanks for your service brother

His name is Jesse Ventura. He’s now 72. At 20 he was 6’4” 245lbs and definitely the man you wanted fighting for the USA. We need to honor men like Jesse, and all those willing to fight and die when others won’t.

[mattfawcett]

They’re just a different breed of man altogether. Infinite respect for this man and all the seal teams

[jeffreygallman]

He's real very few politicians actually fight for there country much respect.

My dad entered the Navy at 14 years old. His father lied and said he was 16. He did his tour in the pacific ocean and South China Sea. He was a great dad! He served with pride.

[OcityGuns]

All I’m hearing him say is “I’m a badass, show me my respect” A salute goes out to this man and his service to our country

[DeniseDennhardt]

There are alot of people who think you are a goon and do not know much of anything. I didn't know all of this about you Jesse. I have a new respect for you and I also thank you for your service. God Bless Jesse ❤️✝️💙
