Despite What Your Momma Told You, Violence

You Have To Slow Your Heart Rate, Stay Calm. You Have To Shoot In Between Your Heartbeats.

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.

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.

There's No Reason Someone Who Has Fought For Their Country Should Be Homeless Of Jobless.

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.
