Why, that would be none other than the infamous FReeper and Hero extrordinaire ... "Cee-gar Man US Marine"
Nick Popaditch (aka Gunny Pop) CA, 51st District.
A widely circulated photograph after the fall of Baghdad in 2003 shows the tank commander and platoon sergeant smoking a cigar in front of the statue of Saddam Hussein just before his unit helped tear it down.Popaditch, 42, was awarded the Silver Star for combat actions during the battle for Fallujah. During that battle he was blinded in one eye by a rocket-propelled grenade to the head and given a medical retirement.
He announced his candidacy at events in Chula Vista and El Centro. He was introduced at both events by retired Rep. Duncan Hunter.
My favorite Gunny Pop quote, which is featured on my Home Page.

Hoping for this guy to start getting some more traction as well:
