Special Operations Soldier Survived Brutal Explosion: VIDEO

Former Delta Force operator Tyler Grey survived a horrible explosion during the Iraq War.

I spoke with Grey on American Joyride back in 2022 about his life story, combat operations and what it's like to be a Delta Force operator. While he plays a SEAL Team 6 operator on "SEAL Team," Tyler was the real deal long before he was a TV star.

One of the most important moments of his life was when he was nearly killed during an operation in Iraq. The explosion was so brutal that it left Tyler's arm looking like hamburger meat. It's truly an incredible story.

You can watch his comments about getting blown up starting around 12:00 in the video below, and make sure to send me your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

I hope you all found Tyler's story of survival as moving and fascinating as I did. Make sure to check back for more great moments, and follow on all the social accounts below.
