“All the sins I've committed, I've done them with one objective: to keep my men alive. Those kids in my squad, those kids of mine, they are everything. My wife doesn't understand this job or why I do it. My son is too young. My dad wouldn't get it if I tried to explain. My mom would have a heart attack. The need to keep my men alive makes everything else negotiable, and everyone and everything a potential threat.”
― David Bellavia, House to House: An Epic Memoir of War

“The point of life was to press on, to do the best you can, to make the world a better place.”
― Tom Clancy, Clear and Present Danger

“When you die it's the same as if everybody else did too.”
― Cormac McCarthy, The Road
