Big Mike Duskin, Warrant for my team when I showed up fresh out the Q Course. Big bear of a man who loved to shoot, love to PT, loved his brothers, and loved his family the most. He always checked in on guys who were dealing with family/other issues, me included, and had a wisdom that was blunt and yet helpful at the same time. He died in full pursuit of the enemy after taking out a couple of their jihadi brethen

The Chak Valley has taken four of our brothers so far. We'll keep fighting everyday to honor Mike, Riley, Schiro, and Justin. We miss you Mike. Rest in peace, see you on the high ground. Prayers out to Maggie and the kids.

"Bad Boys for life" and "With it or On it". Be in God's peace brother.

You were one hell of a team mate, a true warrior, and a mentor. Big Mike stood tall both in stature and in personality, and he died doing what he did best, taking the fight to the enemy's doorstep.

With it or on it...

“Nothing fires the warrior’s heart more with courage than to find himself and his comrades at the point of annihilation, at the brink of being routed and overrun, and then to dredge not merely from one’s own bowels or guts but from one’s discipline and training the presence of mind not to panic, not to yield to the possession of despair, but instead to complete those homely acts of order which Dienekes had ever declared the supreme accomplishment of the warrior: to perform the commonplace under far-from-commonplace conditions.”

Big Mike will be sorely missed. I had heard of the news on another forum. I was in HQ PLT with him when he was at 3/75. He was the sourse of many good memories early in my career. He was a big brother, and will be missed.

Happy Birthday Big Mike. Gone but not forgotten.
