I found this on his 'blog' or w.e.
"

I was on post this morning with Ben and basically we were talking about why the **** are we here, besides you know, having fun and being bored all the time and people trying to kill us. All this was while aiming weapons at traffic (its neccesary when you have a scoped rifle, and you need to use the scope, dont judge me!).

I realized, we're in Iraq because it doesnt matter about freeing Iraqis. They will piss away their freedoms and become corrupt but subtle about it. Its their culture. But at least all these foreign fighters and extremists now have a battlefield. A place to stick it to us Americans. And thats fine with me. I'd rather fight them here than have my family killed in a bombing or snipers gun down an innocent in the street. So basically, we're here to be like... ****ing bring it. Its better here then home, you know?

Pick your battles.
