I don’t shoot people with Korans. I’d like to, but I don’t.

One was to be a cowboy and another was to be in the military. I grew up extremely patriotic and riding horses.

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

If you hate the war, that’s fine. But you should still support the troops. They don’t get to pick where they’re deployed. They just gave the American people a blank check for anything up to and including the value of their lives, and the least everyone else can do is be thankful. Buy them dinner. Mow their yard. Bake them cookies.

Great way to fight a war - be prepared to defend yourself for winning.

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.

I don't have to psych myself up, or do something special mentally - I look through the scope, get my target in the cross hairs, and kill my enemy, before he kills one of my people.
