Door kicker is a term commonly applied to those soldiers and Marines who have spent time in either Iraq or Afghanistan, searching houses for the presence of insurgents, often while under enemy fire. Hence, "door kickers".

![]() Some door kickers and fire eaters from 2 years ago. ![]() My son is among them. In asking him what it was like to go into a house with hostiles in it his reply was... Dad do you remember when I was charged by that black bear, years ago, during deer season? Yes I do son. Do you remember after the confrontation, I walked around the ridge and was white as a sheet? Yes I do son. Well every time that I go into a house and those people are in there, it is like facing the bear again. I understand son.
