@redmustang03 No shit, and all I am getting at is he resembles a character from a video game.

It's great for someone like him to survive, but also we need to thank the doctors, the surgeons,and the nurses that saved his life and reconstructed his skin to make him look as good as this. It those people that need to be thanked for those who save soldiers who get hurt in battle.

@RamboneProCo, idiot he got 40% burned all over his body when his humvee ran over an IED in 2003. 33 skin grafts later this is how he looks.

I can't believe it. Not one negative comment on here. Not one. I am glad that people aren't judging him for his looks, or anything. I think he and Karina will get far in this competition! Good job! ;)
