“I have a master chief that always said, punch and run.”

I’m trying to raise the awareness of the troops that, when they deploy and go to war, it’s not just them at war – it’s also their family. Their family is having to go through all the hardships and the stresses.

The joke was that President Bush only declared war when Starbucks was hit. You can mess with the U.N. all you want, but when you start interfering with the right to get caffeinated, someone has to pay.

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.

Decades of Saddam’s rule made what could have been a fairly rich country, due to its oil reserves, into a very poor one.

No, the best way to stop a vehicle is to shoot the driver. And that you can do with a number of weapons.

One was to be a cowboy and another was to be in the military. I grew up extremely patriotic and riding horses.

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.

Despite what your momma told you, Violence does solve problems.

The media cause more problems than they do good.

In my experience, Marines are gung ho no matter what. They will all fight to the death. Everyone of them just wants to get out there and kill. They are bad-ass, hard-charging mothers.

You have to slow your heart rate, stay calm. You have to shoot in between your heartbeats.

The Navy credits me with more kills as a sniper than any other American service member, past or present.

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.

But real life doesn’t travel in a perfect straight line; it doesn’t necessarily have that ‘all lived happily ever after’ bit. You have to work on where you’re going.

It’s funny – sometimes the strongest individuals feel the worst when events are out of their control, and they can’t really be there for the people they love. I’ve felt it myself.

I just want to get the bad guys but if I can’t see them, I can’t shoot them.

I can’t remember the last time I went to a game and there was a fight. I think they fight more in baseball now than they do in hockey.

No wise man ever took a handgun to a gunfight.

As soon as the fear approaches near, attack and destroy it.

You train. You fight. You succeed. Then do it all over again.

The fight to save family farms isn’t just about farmers. It’s about making sure that there is a safe and healthy food supply for all of us. It’s about jobs, from Main Street to Wall Street. It’s about a better America.

Next fight? If the UFC tell me, ‘What do you want?’ I’m going to say Tony Ferguson.

Sometimes people ask, ‘Are hockey fights real?’ I say, ‘If they weren’t, I’d get in more of them.

Brotherhood is measured by the Wars you’ve won not by the ones you’ve fought.
