My first thought is that the article was a joke. Not so.
The GQ favorite has always been a vocal supporter of the armed forces — but his glimpse into the camaraderie and closeness of the Marine Corps taught him he’ll never fully understand just what men and women in uniform endure for us — and also that he can never appreciate them enough.
I sent this article to a Marine who now works in the local school system and made a point of thanking him for his service to our country.
Looks like our warrior Kelsey is a pretty competent mixed martial arts cage fighter too:

Her opponent seems to have taken a pretty good beating by the end of the fight:

Hats off to Kelsey and all the troops.
