 Richard Marcinko
Richard Marcinko se narodil na Den díkůvzdání v roce 1940 (nedávno mu tedy bylo 60 let!) v málem městečku v Pennsylvanii jménem Lansford, kde dle vlastního Marcinkova popisu nikdo jiný než Slováci a Češi nežili.
V letech 1973 a 1974 byl Richard usazen v Kambodži, kde místo úředničeni za psacím stolem strávil 291 dnů "in combat" (tedy v bitvě, v amerických ozbrojených silách se tyhle dny počítají) a byl vyznamenán za jeho akce vyznamenáním Order of Merit.
Marcinko se osvědčil tak dobře, že byl poté určen k vytvoření ještě něčeho extremnějšího, a to jednotky zvané Red Cell - Rudá buňka, lidem z východní Evropy může to označení znít poněkud zvláštně, ale tak se to jmenovalo.
