#1 The author spent years in the military and as an Army Ranger, and he never thought he would be able to re-create the brotherhood he had while in the military outside of the military. But he was able to do so with new people who shared his values and had the same experiences.

#2 The most satisfying type of war story is when one of these dickless terrorists suicide-bombs himself, but fails to take anyone with him because he’s fucking stupid. We call these terrorists squirters because they are usually holed up inside a juicy soft target where, if you apply enough consistent, vigorous pressure, something is going to come out.

#3 I had been through enough combat by this point that I didn’t mess around anymore. If I thought there was a credible threat in front of us, we were going in like a Ruth's Chris baked potato - fully loaded.

#4 After the meet-and-greet with the AC-130, there were still two more combatants to find. They weren’t dead in the vehicle, and they weren’t within the typical area of destruction you find after a meet-and-greet with an AC-130 gunship. They could be on foot, stalking us from somewhere beyond the halo of the fire.
