An Army Special Forces veteran says he was shocked to find out that a man he served two tours in Afghanistan with was brutally shot and killed while driving in"He served this country — this country, not even his country — way more than I did and I’m a 27-year veteran and I have six tours," Matthew Butler told FOX 5.
