In 1965 he stepped on a landmine in Vietnam and the doctors told him he would never walk again.


And after all that he then went on to complete loving Special Forces training. By 1968 he was back in Vietnam with Special Forces as part of the Studies and Observation Group(SOG), a unit which was featured in Call of Duty:BlacK Ops.

Here's his Medal of Honor citation:


Dude received enough injuries to kill like 10 people yet somehow he didn't die. People often comment on how he looks fat for a Special Forces soldier. That picture was taken in 1981 after he had already left the army and had been in and out of hospitals for years to fix all those injuries he received on May 2, 1968.

Jesus Christ. He was so badly wounded that doctors literally thought he was dead until he managed to spit at them to show he was alive. Are we sure this guy isn't some sort of time-travelling cyborg?
