Ginger Kennedy has previously spoken about the challenges of being married to a soldier and an MMA fighter. In her opinion, the two professions are equally daunting, even though they are different. For example, even though a fight only lasts minutes, her husband becomes grumpy and nervous as his mind prepares for a potentially traumatic event. He also has a lot of weight to lose and all of this adds to the tension at home. Kennedy also revealed that what she misses most about his military life is what the support system it offers. The US Army, Army Reserves and National Guard boast a Family Readiness Group (FRG). This is a commando-sponsored organization of family members, volunteers, soldiers and civilian employers,controversies
Ginger Kennedy has largely managed to keep her nose clean, unlike her husband. The MMA fighter caused a stir in May 2018 when he posted a video supporting the US military’s use of waterboarding. Tim’s video was made in the wake of the controversy surrounding Gina Haspel’s appointment as CIA director. Many people had opposed her emergency because she oversaw the torture of inmates at a prison in Thailand.
Tim contributed his own “two cents” by waterboarding a video of himself using garden hoses. However, his efforts were rejected as they were carried out in a controlled, voluntary manner by people whom he could stop at any time. His video also reportedly lacked the renditions, solitary confinement, stress positions, and sleep deprivation that define the CIA’s extensive interrogation program.
