I'm just trying to get back to normal life.
After I was discharged from the military, it was difficult trying to become a civilian,
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 rules are drawn up by lawyers who are trying to protect the admirals and generals from the politicians; they’re not written by people who are worried about the guys on the ground getting shot.
I'm just trying to be the me that I am and not all of this other crap. I just want to be the family man, and if somehow I can make the money to get my ranch and get the hell away from everybody else, that would be awesome.
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.
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.

Decades of Saddam’s rule made what could have been a fairly rich country, due to its oil reserves, into a very poor one.
