I would love for people to be able to think of me as a guy who stood up for what he believed in and helped make a difference for the vets.
-
Despite what your momma told you, Violence does solve problems.
-
Im not a redneck, Im from Texas.
-
Every person I killed I strongly believe that they were bad. When I do go face God there is going to be lots of things I will have to account for but killing any of those people is not one of them.
-
Other people are talking about writing books about my life, or about some of the things I've done. I find it strange, but I also feel it's my life and my story, and I guess I better be the one to get it on paper the way it actually happened.
-
I’m willing to meet my creator and answer every shot that I took.
-
But even before I was in the military, I was extremely jumpy when asleep.
-
But I wondered, how would I feel about killing someone? Now I know. It’s no big deal.
-
When I grew up, I only had two dreams. One was to be a cowboy and another was to be in the military. I grew up extremely patriotic and riding horses.
-
I really don't care what people think of me.
-
Just because war is hell doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun.
-
You have to slow your heart rate, stay calm. You have to shoot in between your heartbeats.
-
Every time I kill someone, he can't plant an I.E.D. You don't think twice about it.
-
I'm a better husband and father than I was a killer.
-
War is hell. Hollywood fantasizes about it and makes it look good... war sucks.
-
Savage, despicable evil. That's what we were fighting in Iraq. That's why a lot of people, myself included, called the enemy 'savages.' There really was no other way to describe what we encountered there.
-
At another location, we found barrels of chemical material that was intended for use as biochemical weapons. Everyone talks about there being no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but they seem to be referring to completed nuclear bombs, not the many deadly chemical weapons or precursors that Saddam had stockpiled.
-
You're not just going out there, maybe sacrificing your own life. There's also sacrifices still going on at home. You can serve in the military and have a good marriage, but you just need to be aware of it so you can take those steps to take care of it.
-
Great way to fight a war - be prepared to defend yourself for winning.
-
I really don't care what people think of me. I've got my family. I've got my friends. Yes, I have been trained to be a little more aggressive if I need to be, but I don't go around thumping people.
-
There's definitely still a lot of hurt from losing my guys or the fact that I got out and I felt like it wasn't my time yet.
-
I like war.
-
You're in a combat zone one day. You come home, and then you have to readjust, and it takes a few days. We just sit in the house, hang with the family and then things get better.
-
It was my duty to shoot the enemy, and I don't regret it. My regrets are for the people I couldn't save: Marines, soldiers, buddies. I'm not naive, and I don't romanticize war. The worst moments of my life have come as a SEAL. But I can stand before God with a clear conscience about doing my job.
