We aren't heroes out there in the military. We're just Patriots.

...these are the problems of the modern U.S. combat soldier, the constant worry about overstepping the mark and an American media that delights in trying to knock us down. Which we have done nothing to deserve. Except, perhaps, love our country and everything it stands for.

we train for war and fight to win.

You always have to strive

We've trained and trained for a reason: to be better at the craft of war than our enemy, to use our skill to perform the mission, and to accept the risks. As American warriors, it's our obligation to protect the innocent. And that means, sometimes, that we're the ones who need to be put on the disadvantaged side of the threat cycle.

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

Anything worth doing is worth over-doing. Moderation is for cowards.
