Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I'm guessin' with a warrior mentality like he has, rough terrain yields to him....I'd be concerned if he was with me and we needed to cover some ground.  .Oh, yes, I should have known. LOL. ETA: All dude is missing is a parrot and an eye patch. Dude seems pretty bad ass to me. Maybe you should be a bit more respectful to someone with that kind of heart. |

I'm inclined to agree, and I hope the guy gets his scalps. |

The only way I could keep up with him is by paying his bar tab. If here ever gets to Texas, I'll make it happen. TRG |

Not to take away anything from the man's warrior spirit, but how exactly does someone that fat dawn a military uniform and go into combat? I realize that the recovery time probably played hell on his physical condition, so I'm not criticizing, I'm just curious.
That's a hardcore SOB for sure. |

Some of them look 'fat' but they are not. They are just big dudes. They can PT your ass into the ground, no problem. Trust me, BTDT.
Looks are not everything. ETA: Clarification. |

What's that saying...oh yea never judge a book by it's cover Personal anecdote: I was a snotty teenage kid probably about 14-15 yrs old, rode my BMX bikes everywhere, raced BMX bikes, weighed about 160 lbs, probably the best shape I've ever been in in my life. Was walking around the neighborhood with my parents one day and somehow a foot-race challenge came to be with my dad. Now my dad had a big ole pot belly, never worked out, never did anything remotely like exercise. He was active just not that kind of active. My dad's nickname was Mongo. If you ever saw Blazing Saddles, that's where it came from. My dad is even built like him a little bit. He got the nickname because when we had a barn and horses he literally knocked a horse on it's ass that was acting up...just like mongo did in the movie. How did the race go? For a big fat guy my dad was fast  |
After losing my leg 8yrs ago in a shooting accident I just kinda lost a little motivation. I don't know why but i did. And after seeing this man here gives me the motivation back I lost. He lost his and loved what he did enough to bust ass and get back to combat duty. And for that I applaud him and would love to buy him a beer or twelve and talk with him. 
One other thing $25k seems cheap for a above knee prosthetic . I am a below the knee and mine cost around $15 - $20K |
