Johnny Walker is a former Iraqi police officer and interpreter who became one of the most decorated allies of the U.S. Navy SEALs during the Iraq War. Risking his life and that of his family, he served as a translator and scout on over a thousand missions, earning the nickname 'Johnny Walker' from his American comrades in honor of the whiskey brand.
