Mockler thinks this is some kind of career game-changer. It’s not. It just confirms he’s another dime-a-dozen troll looking for clicks and relevance.

The Marine who got blown up by an IED, stood up, and flipped off the enemy. By his third tour in Iraq, Michael Burghardt had disarmed 64 bombs and destroyed over 1,500 pieces of ordnance. They called him Iron Mike. Burghardt was the man you wanted walking toward the device. That morning, he had just extended his tour. Hours later, he was called to a chaotic scene near Ramadi where a bomb had taken four American soldiers. A second device still needed clearing. Burghardt left the bomb suit behind. "You get tunnel vision in that thing, and you can't react to sniper fire." So he walked toward the crater in nothing but a helmet and a flak jacket. EOD men call it "the longest walk." Inside the crater, his knife hit something. A red detonation cora, running between his legs. "That's when I knew I was screwed." He barely had time to shout at his team to get back before the ground exploded beneath him. The blast threw him into the air. "I thought: I can't believe they got me." When he landed, he couldn't feel anything below the waist. For a moment, Burghardt thought he'd end up in a wheelchair. Then he wiggled his toes. "Good. I'm in business." Medics rushed in with a stretcher, but Burghardt refused. He had young Marines in his unit watching, and he wasn't going to let them see the team leader carried away. So he stood up, walked to the helicopter under his own power, and turned back toward the insurgents who had just tried to end him. He raised his middle finger. "I lost that round. But I'll be back next week." He was back disarming bombs in less than a month.

Chief Petty Officer Christopher “Chris” Kyle. United States Navy SEAL, and the most lethal sniper in American military history. A small town Texas kid born in Odessa and raised on a cattle ranch in north central Texas, Chris was the son of a Sunday school teacher and deacon who put a .30-06 Springfield in his hands at the age of 8. He grew up hunting deer and pheasant, working ranches, and chasing rodeo, eventually becoming a professional bronco rider. A serious rodeo accident in 1998 ended his career on horseback, and on August 5 of that year he enlisted in the United States Navy. He was initially turned away from the SEAL program because of his rodeo injuries. The Navy reconsidered after seeing his performance in dive training. Chris graduated BUD/S Class 233 in March 2001, just months before September 11. He was assigned to SEAL Team 3, sniper element, Charlie Platoon (later renamed Cadillac), and would deploy four times to Iraq between 2003 and 2009. His battlefield record across the invasion of Iraq, Fallujah, Ramadi, Sadr City, and Sadr al Yusufiyah is unmatched. Chris is officially credited with more than 160 confirmed kills, including a 2,100 yard shot near Sadr City that took out an enemy fighter armed with a rocket propelled grenade aimed at US forces. Iraqi insurgents called him al Shaitan, “the devil,” and placed an $80,000 bounty on his head. Through it all, his teammates, including Marines and SEALs whose lives he protected from above, simply called him “Legend.” He was shot twice in combat, survived six IED blasts, and helped lead the SEAL sniper community as Chief Instructor of the Naval Special Warfare Sniper / Counter Sniper schools after his deployments, where he wrote the first official Navy SEAL sniper manual. The US Navy’s official records confirm Chris was awarded one Silver Star, three Bronze Stars with Valor, the Combat Action Ribbon, and several other commendations. He was honorably discharged as a Chief Petty Officer in 2009. Out of uniform, Chris dedicated himself to his wife Taya, his two children, and his fellow veterans. He founded Craft International, a tactical training company, and partnered with the FITCO Cares Foundation to provide fitness equipment to disabled veterans struggling with PTSD. His autobiography, American Sniper, spent 37 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and was later adapted into the 2014 Clint Eastwood film starring Bradley Cooper. On February 2, 2013, Chris and his close friend Chad Littlefield drove a fellow Marine veteran struggling with PTSD to Rough Creek Lodge near Chalk Mountain, Texas, in an effort to help him. The veteran, Eddie Ray Routh, shot and killed both men at the range. Chris was 38 years old. More than 7,000 people gathered at AT&T Stadium for his memorial. Hundreds more lined the 200 mile funeral procession to the Texas State Cemetery in Austin. In 2015, Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared February 2 “Chris Kyle Day,” and he was posthumously awarded the Texas Legislative Medal of Honor, the state’s highest military honor. He died doing what he had always done: serving others.
