Retired Petty Officer Marcus Luttrell, winner of the Navy Cross for heroism in Afghanistan, says he doesn't sleep well at night.
So when the trained Navy Seal heard a gunshot go off near his ranch in Walker county Texas at 1:30 in the morning, he immediately sprang into action.
After first checking in on his mother, Luttrell made his way out to the tree line of his property. There he saw the headlights of a car with a handful of young men loudly joking, standing outside of it. "I could see my dog lying in the ditch," Luttrell said

I would have loved to see the cops say they had another call and were going to let them settle it amongst themselves."Here, now, lemme see. I need to toss you fellers in this here holding tank while we figger out what we'll do with you... Mr Luttrell, I'll need to hold you in there, as well, for exceeding safe speed limits....."
"Now, whut did I do with my hat? Must've left it in the cruiser. I'll be back in just a few minutes......"

my hats off the loyalty of the Seals to preserve their dignity, what ever the situation they are faced with.I'd expect no less. They've dealt with far worse.

Next time it won’t be dogs with these scum bags, it will be some innocent child or elderly. They shouldn’t even get a chance at a next time imo.

I like it. These guys don’t have a clue that SEALS kill people at night without a sound or a trace and behind enemy lines.
I have a friend who was a stationed intell officer. Some SEALS came up to him and wanted to take a guy in his barracks out drinking. He said to them “ you know the security fences are live after midnight and you will not be able to get him back in till morning. Well in the morning here is their guy, in his bunk, undressed drunk as a skunk and no one heard a thing and nothing was cut. They are amazing

That is a GREAT story :)
I hope this SEAL measures his target well.

Right after the dirtbags started taunting him, I would have loved to see the cops say they had another call and were going to let them settle it amongst themselves. Roger that. But it would only be fair if they were allowed one phone call to bring in twenty more miscreant friends.

Jail time is the least of their worries right now. These scumbags are marked and rightly so. Living a normal life out in the open may no longer be an option for these tough guys.
To: cspackler
Story said these punks were threatening to come back when they got out. I think they have no idea of the crapstorm they have gotten themselves into. Not just because of who he is, but also the number of other real bad a$$es that have his back as well. If smart, they will disappear somewhere far away. Yep.

Luttrell was taunted and threatened by the men as they were arrested...
I can think of a lot of terms for these douchebags, “men” isnt one of them.
Wish I could have 5 minutes alone with each of these scumbags,to beat their skulls in till my hands were swollen and numb.
