I am not a fan of politics.
No, the best way to stop a vehicle is to shoot the driver. And that you can do with a number of weapons.
Decades of Saddam’s rule made what could have been a fairly rich country, due to its oil reserves, into a very poor one.
I'm a better husband and father than I was a killer,
After I was discharged from the military, it was difficult trying to become a civilian,
As far as I can see it, anyone who has a problem with what guys do over there is incapable of empathy. People want America to have a certain image when we fight. Yet I would guess if someone were shooting at them and they had to hold their family members while they bled out against an enemy who hid behind their children, played dead only to throw a grenade as they got closer, and who had no qualms about sending their toddler to die from a grenade from which they personally pulled the pin....they would be less concerned with playing nicely.
It's not a problem taking out someone who wants your people dead. That's not a problem at all.
The media cause more problems than they do good.
I thought I should be stronger than was possible.
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.
In the end, my story, in Iraq and afterward, is about more than just killing people or even fighting for my country. It's about being a man. And it's about love as well as hate.
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 just want to get the bad guys but if I can’t see them, I can’t shoot them.
I don’t shoot people with Korans. I’d like to, but I don’t.
