    Deuce Four: B. General Erik Kurilla makes an inspirational speech mentioning in detail heroes like Scott Smiley
    Erik is the finest combat leader I ever went to combat with. Spent five months with him. Before I got there to the unit in Mosul, Erik had already been knocked out by a car bomb and all sorts of other things, but was still doing missions literally 7 days per week, as the battalion commander.
    The enemy hated Erik so much that they put a bounty on him. The enemy hated Deuce Four. I loved them. They were incredibly aggressive and so there was constant contact with the enemy.
    The bounty did not work. Erik and the Deuce Four battalion were killing enemy practically daily, and they themselves took 183 casualties. One day Erik got shot in front of me, hit three times, badly, but he continued to fire at the enemy and give orders. Erik was the last casualty of the battalion.
    Before it was over, Bruce Willis wanted to do a movie about Erik and the Deuce Four, and asked me to write a book, but long story short I stayed in the wars.
    Today I am honored to have such a friend, and to know that such people serve in our military still.
    These photos of Erik being shot and still fighting were made by me in Mosul:

    Thank you for sharing this video, so many young men and women I know have chosen to serve, including my son. I appreciate and admire all who choose to do so. This video should be a reminder to all how brave those few who choose to serve all. God Bless Them All.

    The FBI should have
    investigated over the
    three years I gave them
    names.
    Including traitors.
    Instead they covered for
    Sean Kernan and the Holland crew.

    So Erik thinks that we should have new allies, the Taliban...how will he sell that to the children of fallen parents?
