Holy crap
I knew this guy for years. He was with the OPFOR platoon when I was an instructor at Ranger School, and he was one of my squad leaders when I was a First Sergeant with the 173rd in Italy. I saw that image a few times, and it didn’t connect. But, someone from back in the day sent me word that he was hearing it was Rod’. Then I saw the second image in the article, where you can actually see some of his face.

Rick Rodriguez, a 20-year Army veteran and Green Beret, was wounded in a “physical altercation” on New Year’s Eve in Irbil, the capital of Iraq’s Kurdish region. https://t.co/380eZxyz8a
