Other people are talking about writing books about my life, or about some of the things I've done. I find it strange, but I also feel it's my life and my story, and I guess I better be the one to get it on paper the way it actually happened.

Despite what your momma told you, Violence does solve problems.

The Navy credits me with more kills as a sniper than any other American service member, past or present.

I am a much better father and husband than I ever was a sniper.

It's not a problem taking out someone who wants your people dead. That's not a problem at all.

None of my problems come from the people I've killed.

I thought I should be stronger than was possible.
