Born and raised in California's South Bay, his struggles came early with marijuana and time in juvenile hall that led to his transformation into a highly skilled Marine Sniper. Lu takes us to the front lines of Iraq and Afghanistan, where he conducted multiple combat deployments. He opens up about the impact of taking lives, including his first confirmed kill - a teenage boy armed with a machine gun. He discusses the personal toll of his service, having lost nearly everyone closest to him during his time in the military. Lu offers a rare glimpse into many veterans' struggles upon returning home and the struggles of returning to everyday life!
