It was my duty to shoot the enemy, and I don't regret it. My regrets are for the people I couldn't save: Marines, soldiers, buddies. I'm not naive, and I don't romanticize war. The worst moments of my life have come as a SEAL. But I can stand before God with a clear conscience about doing my job.
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.
Every time I kill someone, he can't plant an I.E.D. You don't think twice about it.
I am a much better father and husband than I ever was a sniper.

Im not a redneck, Im from Texas.
If you see anyone from about sixteen to sixty-five and they're male, shoot 'em. Kill every male you see.
I'm just trying to get back to normal life.

I am not a fan of politics.

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,
The media cause more problems than they do good.
