The Adventures of Duncan Hunter

The Adventures of Duncan Hunter

Thursday, September 8, 2016

Captain Bill McGee, "Bullfrog," the legendary U.S. Navy SEAL.

One of the main characters in the Duncan Hunter series is William "Bill" McGee, the most decorated commando in Special Operations history, and the son of one of the original WWII Tuskegee Airmen.

Bill McGee is a man with many talents, and killing the enemies of America is his specialty.  He runs to the sound of trouble.  Like most senior SEALs, he is quiet but thoughtful, and carries himself with the unmistakable poise and confidence of a former member of United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group, the vaunted SEAL Team Six. 

Tiny round lenses give him the air of being a scholar, with PhDs in weapons, special operations, and assassination methods.  His physique, culled from hours in the weight room, is manifest of his athletic prowess.  Like James Bond, he is equally comfortable in scuba gear or a parachute harness as he was in formal wear.  For failing to find Osama bin Laden in the mountains of Tora Bora, McGee was relieved of command and sent to the Naval War College, to end his storied career first as a student then as an instructor.  There he meets Duncan Hunter who involves him the arcane world of quiet airplanes.  With his professional life in tatters, McGee credits Hunter for motivating and reinvigorating him, and they become fast friends. 

True friends always come running when there is trouble.  Hunter has a strange way of finding trouble and McGee is always saving his ass.

Maverick out!
