ROS sends us a link to the story of Marcus Taylor, who the article describes as an Army Ranger (his profile on AKO makes me think that is true) recently returned from Afghanistan.
Ranger Marcus Taylor told KOMO that he heard kids screaming and car horns about 4 a.m. Monday and saw flames at a nearby apartment building.
He rushed over and was told someone was still on the top floor of the two-story building. Taylor heard rustling, kicked in a sliding glass door and told residents to come to the sound of his voice. All escaped.
Taylor was treated for cuts to his right leg. A woman was treated for smoke inhalation. Nineteen people were displaced by the fire.
See, there is a need for door kickers in the real world.

I miss kicking doors and breaking stuff. I can imagine him sitting on the curb while the paramedics looked at his leg and he was like “did you see that sh!# the f-ing weak a$$ window don’t stand a chance against how f-ing awesome I am. good thing this people heard my Ranger War Cry and came out.”
I seriousness, talk about Sua Sponte!
