I spend most of my time at the ranch with my family, and enjoy life - watch the sun come up, watch it go down, thank God for another day, and just be happy.

We know about bad guys, what they do, and often, who they are. The politicians have chosen to send us into battle, and that's our trade. We do what's necessary. And in my view, once those politicians have elected to send us out to do what 99.9 percent of the country would be terrified to undertake, they should get the hell out of the way and stay there.

In death as in life, we stand together, always a family, always a team. The brotherhood never dies.

There's a storm inside of us. I've heard many team guys speak of this. A burning. A river. A drive.

And if the liberal media and political community cannot accept that sometimes the wrong people get killed in war, then I can only suggest they first grow up and then serve a short stint up in the Hindu Kush.

There is no other way to beat a terrorist. You must fight like him, or he will surely kill you.
