I Did Want To Be The Top

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'm A Better Husband And Father Than I Was A Killer.

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.

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.

My Regrets Are About The People I Couldn’t Save—marines, Soldiers, My Buddies. I Still Feel Their Loss. I Still Ache For My Failure To Protect Them.
