In 2003, Adam joined the United States Air Force. He was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in November 2003 and later awarded his pilot wings. Captain Kinzinger has served in the Air Force Special Ops, Air Combat Command, Air Mobility Command, and Air National Guard.

Captain Kinzinger has been recognized for his efforts both in an out of uniform. In 2007, he received the United States Air Force Airman’s Medal for saving the life of a young woman who was violently attacked. Despite the likelihood that he too would be stabbed, Adam wrestled the knife away from the attacker and pinned him to the ground until the police arrived. He was also awarded the National Guard’s Valley Forge Cross for Heroism and was selected as the Southeastern Wisconsin American Red Cross Hero of the Year.

He’s done five tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. He’s also done missions on the southern border in the war on drugs. He’s a fiscal conservative who believes in free-market capitalism and small government. He’s advocating a freeze on all non-defense spending immediately. He’s also pro-life and a member of the NRA.

Oh, and here’s what he looks like:

Scott who? I’m pretty sure everyone’s going to be forgetting about that Cosmo spread once they start salivating over this guy.

He’s trying to defeat Debbie Halvorson. He’s also trying to raise $11k by February 10th, a very achievable goal. Maybe we can all help him out by throwing a few bucks in? Every last little bit counts, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who would like to see Captain Kinzinger take Halvorson’s place in the House.
