Hank could've been ex-military. Judging by his reactions to intensely violent situations in the show, though, I'd wager he was never in any combat situations.

No, but Mike served in Vietnam.

too much of a pussy to serve
sure he was a pussy
Took down two of the most notorious cartell hitmen and come close to put them all in jail.
Stared down a barrel and not even begged a second, yeah such a pussy.
but they hung him anyway.
Hanged, Ami. Your father was not a tapestry.

I think was a tough bastard. Look how he handled those two guys in the bar single handedly. He knew how to throw down. Not to mention surviving the twins attack, getting shot multiple times and still managing to kill one of them and fatally injure the other when he was the one that was unarmed when they attacked him.
Imo dude was tougher than nails.

Hank always seemed the guy who would tell tall tales about fighting in wars like Iraq and you'd later find out he was a phony.

Doubt it, Hank was too much of a pussy to serve.
