“After I was discharged from the military, it was difficult trying to become a civilian.”

But I wondered, how would I feel about killing someone? Now I know. It’s no big deal.

I’m just trying to get back to normal life.

None of my problems come from the people I’ve killed.

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.

I did want to be the top sniper.

It is our duty to serve those who serve us.

I’m willing to meet my creator and answer every shot that I took.

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.
