Savage, despicable evil. That's what we were fighting in Iraq.

I am not a fan of politics.

I did want to be the top sniper.

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

Just because war is hell doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun.

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.

Savage, despicable evil. That's what we were fighting in Iraq. That's why a lot of people, myself included, called the enemy 'savages.' There really was no other way to describe what we encountered there.
