Former Navy SEAL Kevin Lacz: What You Do In Spite of Fear Defines You

Former SEAL Team THREE sniper, breacher and combat medic Kevin Lacz joined Kilmeade and Friends today to talk with fill-in host Pete Hegseth about his new book The Last Punisher. The book explores Lacz’s deployment with SEAL Team THREE and his experiences during the Iraq War with the legendary unit known as “The Punishers,” including Chris Kyle (American Sniper), Mike Monsoor, Ryan Job, and Marc Lee. These brave men were instrumental in securing the key locations in the pivotal 2006 Battle of Ramadi, the events of which are portrayed in the Oscar-nominated film American Sniper, in which Lacz played himself.

During the interview, Lacz discusses the bond of the brotherhood, how what you do in spite of fear defines you, and how when your instincts tell you to take cover, the most important thing is protecting your unit. Lacz also mentions how in places like Dallas and Orlando there will always be heroes who put themselves in the line of fire to protect others.
