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

But I wondered, how would I feel about killing someone? Now I know. It’s no big deal.

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.

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.

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

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