Michael P. Murphy was a rare individual. He completed BUD/S training, and became a Navy SEAL. I cannot even fathom what that was like. I'd say you can read about it, you can watch clips on youtube about the training, and how tough it is; but you will never know what it would be like unless you were there. But how I see it, that doesn't even scratch the surface as to who Mike Murphy was and what he was about. He was that extremely rare individual who cared more about others than he did himself. When he got into a fight with the bullies at his school because they were trying to stuff a special needs student in a locker, Michael was there to stand up for someone who couldn't defend himself. He didn't ignore it, and just walk on by, because that wasn't who Michael Murphy was. He was someone with a heart of gold.
Knowing that one of Mike's most favorite battles was the one at Thermopylae where King Leonidas the famous Spartan commander who led 300 warriors against an insurmountable Persian force, is really amazing. That's how Mike left this world, he left like King Leonidas. History is not going to remember me. History probably won't remember you. But history will remember Michael P. Murphy, Matthew G. Axelson, and Danny P. Dietz large in part due to Marcus Luttrell. He survived to tell there tale, and how bravely they fought.
But the most wonderful thing about Michael Murphy was his heart. He was just a good, good person who cared more about others than he did himself. When you watch the film, you realize he was who he was because his parents are good people. The film is great because Michael P. Murphy was an unbelievable individual. Thank you Scott for honoring this "iron clad warrior."
