Sad news. If you’ve ever watched Discovery’s “Future Weapons” series you’ve had the pleasure of watching former Navy SEAL Richard John “Mack” Machowicz flow the buck out of a variety of targets. He was diagnosed with brain cancer, October of 2015 and after a long fight lost his final battle last night.

Very sad to lose another Patriot. RIP Mack. You served your country well.
RIP, good sir.

I wonder what kind of permit I would need to buy a couple of those Mercury launchers.
Sad, indeed!
Now this is a loss that Americans should be regretting and talking about, instead of whining about the loss of some ‘entertainers’ who have done nothing positive for the country in their miserable lives.
RIP Mack
joe6pak,
That would be a great round for hunting. You could kill it, clean it, and cook it all in one shot. Pun intended.
RIP
Are brain cancers increasing? I know three families who have been affected by this in the last few years and don’t remember hearing much about it growing up.
JustAl, the prevailing urban myth is that the preponderance of cell phones and wireless electronics in our society is what’s causing the rise in episodes brain cancer.
Rest high on the mountain, brother!
Great show. Real patriot. What a shame.
Didn’t even know he was sick. I’m so sorry for the loss of a truly entertaining show host, not to mention his honorable service to our country. Rest In Peace sir and may God comfort and watch over those left behind.
God bless Sailor, rest your oar.
