Green Beret and UFC fighter Tim Kennedy’s Instagram account represents everything that people love about America.
Kennedy has one of the most incredible American stories, not only as a member of an elite military unit, but as somebody who successfully managed to crack a few skulls as a fighter in the octagon.
However, for me, it’s his military background and his fierce display of patriotism that I find to be the most interesting.
Tim Kennedy is an active, Ranger qualified, Green Beret, Special Forces Sniper with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as other locations around the globe.
He enlisted in 2003 under the 18X (Special Forces candidate) program. He attended basic training, AIT, and Airborne school at Fort Benning GA as an 11B (Infantry), before he continued Special Forces training at Fort Bragg North Carolina.
After being awarded his Green Beret in 2005 he was first assigned to 7th Special Forces Group(A), at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. where he served on an Operational Detachment Alpha. During his time in special forces he was deployed in Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi Freedom, he was an honor graduate from Ranger school, and attended sniper school in addition to many other advanced special operation courses.
His Instagram photos are exactly what somebody would expect from a person this badass.
It’s a good thing we’ve got guys like Tim on our side.
