After all, this is a man who reportedly became known as “The Giant” to the Taliban, during his first tour as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army. Stationed in Kandahar Province, he was the rifle platoon leader of the 2nd Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team. Without going into graphic detail, suffice it to say, Villanueva and his soldiers were involved in some serious fighting.
