Six (nearly 7) year-old Walker Greentree is a kid in a military family, and he was pretty determined to find out the answer, so he wrote to Admiral William McRaven.

McRaven is head of the Joint Special Operations Command, arguably the deadliest military organization on the planet, making him one of the deadliest men on the planet.

Blue Star is a nonprofit organization started by military spouses with the aim of helping military families. They actually posted McRaven's response to young Greentree.

The letter is priceless:
