Gary “Butch” O’Neal lied about his age and joined the Army at age 15 to escape a hardscrabble life after being passed around by relatives in four different U.S. states following his parents’ divorce.
Trained by his father and grandfather to wield a rifle, knife and anvil, O’Neal disciplined himself to attain the coveted Ranger status among our U.S. army’s top elite.
Gary began with basic training at Fort Benning, then infantry AIT, then jump school. He served his first Vietnam tour beginning in 1967 with the 173rd Airborne, operating out of a fire base in the Central Highlands.
“I’d been lost living in America, and in Vietnam I was found,” O’Neal writes in his highly readable memoir, “American Warrior: The True Story of a Legendary Ranger,” written with David Fisher. “War was what I was good at. It made me a whole person. Like other people fighting over there, I became addicted to the high of being at risk.”
From his first assigned combat tour in Vietnam conducting hazardous missions rescuing prisoners of war, O’Neal served with several elite units including the 173rd Airborne Brigade Line Company, Company C, 75th Ranger Regiment and the 5th Special Forces Group.
His Airborne mission was a “search and destroy” nicknamed “The Herd” by legendary entertainer Bob Hope. Gary recalls, “We lost 60,000 troops, but we killed over eight million. That’s almost a nine to one ratio.
The epic story of one of America's greatest soldiers, Ranger Hall of Fame member Gary O'Neal, who served his country for forty years Chief Warrant Officer Gary O'Neal is no ordinary soldier. For nearly forty years, he has fought America's enemies, becoming one of the greatest Warriors this nation has ever known. Part Native American, O'Neal was trained in both military combat and the ways of his native people, combining his commitment to freedom with his respect for the enemy, his technical fighting skills with his fierce warrior spirit. From his first tour in Vietnam at seventeen to fighting in both Gulf wars, O'Neal was nothing less than a super soldier. A minefield of aggression bordering on a justice-seeking vigilante, O'Neal kept fighting even when wounded, refusing to surrender in the face of nine serious injuries and being left more than once. O'Neal earned countless military honors as a member of the elite Army Rangers corps, a founding member of the legendary first Department of Defense antiterrorist team, a member of the Golden Knights Parachuting Team, and more, devoting his life to training the next generation of soldiers. His unbelievable true stories are both shocking and moving, a reminder of what it means to be a true American hero. In O'Neal's own words, he "wasn't born a warrior"--life made him one. American Warrior will serve as inspiration for American men and women in uniform today, as well as appeal to the countless veterans who served their country alongside O'Neal.
