My cousin was well known locally for his wrestling, our other cousin was talking about him once at school lunch and some other wrestlers asked her if she could introduce him to them...
He enlisted in the Army after school, led the deadliest platoon in Iraq (4-5 deployments), and is now a military attorney...
He got some awards for his heroism, one for standing in the line of fire of two Iraqi snipers while the rest of his platoon took cover... He took out two snipers before they could get him... (He was a sniper himself...)
I guess that he really likes that fighting mindset...
