Yes he is! I wish him all the best as he recovers. Staying calm under pressure. Kudos to the Lt. Col!
Probably not...........

29 years old and LTC.....
Somebody got their number wrong. A few young go getters got battlefield commissions back in the day....lately...not so much...he may be 39 (could be 49)...
Still, one hell of a Marine! Get some!

I wondered about that as well. Looks 39 and in his prime.

Have a plan to kill everyone you meet....
The Marine looks like he could rumble but going to meet two strange norwegians in a private place was not smart....
Still, from the culture this guy has grown up in he really would feel that he could handle anything that came his way.
Wonder what they shot him with....

That was tragic! Thank heaven he was saved from that heinous crime. He could have been killed at the very moment, and definitely that gold chain isn't worth his life! The marine had saved himself after being shot during robbery by plugging bullet holes with own fingers. That was really tough! I bet this serve as a lesson to everybody. With regard to the criminals, they have to be strictly penalized and must not be allowed to bail even if they get payday loans for it. Strict gun control must therefore be implemented to shun this kind of criminal activity from aggrandizing.
