The whole point of me doing a Christmas record and what I centered it around was the song 'Christmas with You' from the point-of-view of the soldiers in Iraq.

The Wedding March always reminds me of the music played when soldiers go into battle.

It was my duty to shoot the enemy and I don't regret it. My regrets are for the people I couldn't save: Marines soldiers buddies. I'm not naive and I don't romanticize war. The worst moments of my life have come as a SEAL. But I can stand before God with a clear conscience about doing my job.

I took every chance I could to meet with U.S. soldiers. I talked with them and read the books they gave me about the war. I decided I needed to return to my country and join with them - active duty soldiers and Vietnam Veterans in particular - to try and end the war.

We managed to put together a compilation that had some creativity to it. In the meantime I was listening to the free radio stations and I noticed that during their war coverage they were playing these songs born out of the Vietnam War that were all critical of the soldiers.

War is too serious a matter to leave to soldiers.

The connection between dress and war is not far to seek your finest clothes are those you wear as soldiers.

In war the heroes always outnumber the soldiers ten to one.

Diplomats are just as essential to starting a war as soldiers are for finishing it... You take diplomacy out of war and the thing would fall flat in a week.

Ten soldiers wisely led will beat a hundred without a head.
