He's a former US Marine turned journalist writing about Afghanistan. Very well written and interesting, and the guy himself is really cool.
And when he was a guest speaker at a local college, I heard there wasn't a dry seat in the house.

I met him through a friend and got to sit in on one of his talks, then hung out with him after for a bit. Tall, muscular, classically handsome, hazel eyes, articulate, witty, the sort of guy other guys love to hate but also wish they could be.
I told him a story related to me by a Viet Nam vet and he cracked up, and we ended up hitting it off pretty well. Very impressive guy, but he's the first to admit that he's been damaged by his war experiences.
