Tom Brokaw did a segment on Jesse Ventura. Turns out he served in the
military and was a Navy Seal. I did not know that.
BTW, my favorite line from the movie _Predator_ was not from Arnold but from
Jesse --
"You lose it out here, you're in a world of hurt."
Funny they haven't mentioned on any of the news channels yet that he was
Mayor of Brooklyn Park for a while. Hmm.
