Anthony is the latest fool to be added to the list of the popular MTV show Catfish. Having served time in Iraq, "Kush Blaze" suffered a broken hip, femur, ankle, and brain injury while serving as a E5 in the United States Army.

Anthony's Catfish episode debuts Tuesday on MTV at 10/9c. Now this guy I actually feel bad for, especially after all he's been through. Continue reading to watch an 11-minute teaser, it's good!
