What do you think about Rudy 'Fruity' Reyes?
I think he's a locked on operator (0321) who has a zen way of looking at a very difficult job. When he calls another Marine "brother" he really means it, he truly sees every Marine as his brother. He had a hard life when he was growing up and he had every right to be bitter, but he is bigger than his cirstances and he had a huge responsibility to his brothers. At the age of 17 he emancipated himself and took care of his 2 younger brothers. He was about 27 when he earned the title of U.S. Marine and went on to become one of the less than 1% who become Recon Marines. So I think he's the real deal. He's a lot more than just what you see on Generation Kill.
