Well, you know, should we be here? Should we be killing people?

Um, I think I'm much more hesitant about having a definite opinion about who should die. Um, just seeing the brutality and the, uh, you know, people's people have got body parts missing or, I mean, there's big holes, there's, um, you know, they died a violent death and it's not pretty, man.

But also even with the Iraqi culture that there were times that people just said, well, you know, whatever group it was they didn't agree with, they just said, you know, kill them all. You know, and I was going, you know, these are people, you know. And I didn't like that attitude.
