I began teaching my son how to shoot when he was two, starting with the basics of a BB rifle. My theory is that kids get into trouble because of curiosity—if you don’t satisfy it, you’re asking for big problems. If you inform them and carefully instruct them on safety when they’re young, you avoid a lot of the trouble. My son has learned to respect weapons. I’ve always told him, if you want to use a gun, come get me. There’s nothing I like better than shooting.
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.
What wounded veteran's don't need is sympathy. THey need to be treated like the men they are: equals, heroes, and people who still have tremendous value for society.
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.
But I wondered, how would I feel about killing someone? Now I know. It’s no big deal.
I am not a fan of politics.
No, the best way to stop a vehicle is to shoot the driver. And that you can do with a number of weapons.
Decades of Saddam’s rule made what could have been a fairly rich country, due to its oil reserves, into a very poor one.
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,
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.
