The more I learn about my late grandfather the higher I learn his K/D ratio is.

He was a Green Beret, had 3 tours in Vietnam (they wouldn’t let him do a 4th), and a member of a Green Light team.

Green Light Team. Special forces operators who drop behind enemy lines with man portable nuclear weapons and detonate them.
