“When we got back to the COP, I ran straight toward Honaker-Miracle’s fire pit, stripped naked, and proceeded to burn my shit-covered uniform. I then walked into the base’s TOC to confront the PSYOPS genius who thought passing out business cards in primitive Afghan villages was a good idea. In hindsight, it wasn’t the best judgment to walk into the TOC completely naked, but as we all know, hindsight is 20/20.”
― Flo Groberg, 8 Seconds of Courage: A Soldier's Story from Immigrant to the Medal of Honor

“Most of the little mom and pop gun shops had been shut down by hordes of protesters blocking their entrances. What they did to counter that hate was truly American. They banded together, rented an old K-Mart, secured the perimeter, and competed against one another under one roof. The Pew-Pew Emporium was a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, gun show. Against all odds, it persisted.”
― Marcus Sloss, Cyber Viking 1

“Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.”
