@KVanValkenburg 100% agree. A bunch of grown men, terrified that a younger and more female audience might actually be tuning in to watch their beloved football. It’s weird.

2010, Sabari District, Khost Province, Afghanistan. I think about this kid all the time. He greeted us every time we patrolled through his village. Did he survive? His family? Is he a Taliban fighter now? Time to log off for a while man… 😕

I spent 20 years in the Army. 5 combat tours. More gunfights than I want to remember. I’m telling you right now, I don’t think there’s anyway I would’ve jumped off one of these boats, onto a beach taking unmerciful machine gun fire. These dudes had courage I’ll never know. #DDay

I became a big Ludvig Åberg fan today. Walked off the 11th with a smile on his face after making double bogey, pulled things together the rest of the way, and finishes as the runner-up in his first #themasters appearance. I think he may be around for a while.
