It’s well known that Tim Kennedy is proud to have served in the US military as a Special Forces soldier. What wasn’t known, until now, were the specifics of his role as a Green Beret.
In a shocking post on social media (h/t Jessica Hudnall), Kennedy, the No. 13 ranked UFC middleweight in the world, revealed that he has killed women and children in war and doesn’t seem particularly fazed by it.
From 1999-2010, it was revealed that suicide rates within the United States military were alarmingly high. The US Department of Veteran affairs revealed that roughly 22 veterans were committing suicide per day and that 6,500 military personnel killed themselves in 2012, a figure higher than the number of combat-related deaths in Iraq.
