The last time I was in there to set up for a surgery, I was sitting in the waiting room ... watching television. And a special came on the news about a guy who got AIDS from re-used medical equipment in the VA. It was the same procedure I was fixing to get. I'm gone. Deuces. I walked out, man.

War's not black and white; it's gray. If you don't fight in the gray area, you're going to lose.

I spend most of my time at the ranch with my family, and enjoy life - watch the sun come up, watch it go down, thank God for another day, and just be happy.

Marcus Luttrell

Time Life God

Bottom line is that there's bad people everywhere. And every now and again, we are going to have to step to them to make sure that we preserve our way of life.

I died on that mountain, too. I left a part of myself up there.

There's nothing glorious about war. There's nothing glorious about holding your friends in your arms and watching them die. There's nothing glorious about having to leave your home for 6 to 8 months while your family's back here and you're away.

War Home Family

These 'lone wolves,' people like to call them, you've got to look at them not like a lone wolf but an individual operator who's been convinced in their head, brainwashed, whatever, that this is the way to go. And they will carry out their assaults systematically throughout.

America is the light, and her people are the goodness that grows from that. She'll always be worth fighting for - it was my greatest honor to fight for her every day of my adult life.

We have to make sure the Hell the veterans come home from is not the Hell they come back to.

In my opinion, you start messing with what this country was founded on, and our baseline is what we call it, it opens up too many - too many doors. You start messing with that, people can say religion kills people. So, let's start messing with that.

Marcus Luttrell

Religion Art You

Don't waste one second on anything. Watch the sun come up, and watch it go down.

I love Boston.

If you had to put people, senators - if they had to go for their V.A. to get care, it would probably get fixed.

In the middle of everything evil, in an evil place, you can find goodness. Goodness. I'd even call it godliness.

Good God You

I knew, at a very young age, that I was supposed to be a gunfighter.

Texas is generally 82 degrees year round. I always tell people you don't know cold until you have been to Boston.

Rick Perry is my family. I love him.

If you knew the real me, you'd want to keep your distance from me. Seriously.

If I died on the battlefield, then that was the way it was supposed to be.

Way Up Then

Obviously, the World War II guys, that's where we, we learned everything from those guys. And then we hopefully, what we learned, we pass down to the newer generation.

Marcus Luttrell

Who among you will love something more than you love yourself, all right?

Marcus Luttrell

Governor Perry taught me how to be a good man and to be a good husband. Not only does he have to take care of his own family, but the state of Texas.

Marcus Luttrell

When I came into the Perry family, it was just kind of one of those deals where they were the only family I had.

Marcus Luttrell

I'm a big tradition guy. If you love this country and study history, then you will love Boston.

Marcus Luttrell

I'd give Him some room. I'd be like, 'Thanks for keeping me around a little bit longer. I owe You a lot.'

Marcus Luttrell

To the next generation, your war is here; you don't have to find it.

Marcus Luttrell

Most of the time, I don't want to use anti-climatic, but sometimes you go out there thinking this is going to be the worst thing you've ever gotten yourself into, and then you get back to base and think, 'Wow, that wasn't anything like I expected.'

Marcus Luttrell

I'm a private person.

Marcus Luttrell

I'm not a hero.

Marcus Luttrell

It's a weird feeling when you know you're going to die.

Marcus Luttrell

I don't want to be in Hollywood or anything like that.

Marcus Luttrell

I challenge all of you to fight for this country.

If we became buddies, obviously I'd start throwing some cracks at Him.

The last time I was in there to set up for a surgery, I was sitting in the waiting room ... watching television. And a special came on the news about a guy who got AIDS from re-used medical equipment in the VA. It was the same procedure I was fixing to get. I'm gone. Deuces. I walked out, man.

Marcus Luttrell

The only way we're going to keep America safe is to have an elite military, all right.

Marcus Luttrell

I can't wait to get back to the ranch and go back to easy living.

Marcus Luttrell

I didn't want to do a movie, but Hollywood was going to do it with or without us.

Marcus Luttrell

I'd been in so many villages. I'd be like, 'Up against the wall, and shut the hell up!' So I'm like, why would these people be kind to me?

Marcus Luttrell

One of the lessons I learned was that there are good people everywhere. That village, Sabray, saved my life.

Marcus Luttrell

Every time I get off the phone with one of my friends, I tell them I love them.

Marcus Luttrell

My greatest honor was to serve my country.

Marcus Luttrell

What comes through my head is going to come out of my mouth.

Marcus Luttrell

I promise you, every insurgent, freedom fighter, and stray gunman in Iraq who we arrested knew the ropes, knew that the way out was to announce he had been tortured by the Americans, ill treated, or prevented from reading the Koran or eating his breakfast or watching the television.

Marcus Luttrell

If I had to say something to Americans, being afraid and having fear, it's okay to be fearful because that will make you strong; being afraid will shut you down.

Marcus Luttrell

When I came into the Perry family, it was one of those deals where it was the only family I had. I didn't have a father figure growing up like that, somebody who genuinely cared about me. Governor Perry taught me how to be a good man.

Marcus Luttrell

Every situation I have ever been in I have been trained for, and I dealt with it to the best of my abilities.

Marcus Luttrell

I got my service dog when I was medically retired out of the military, and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I wish every medically retired serviceman could have a service dog. He's amazing. He's my best bud. I go everywhere and anywhere with him.

Marcus Luttrell

What the SEAL teams do, what our training does, is it chips away the outer that layer and shows you what you're capable of and not capable of.

Marcus Luttrell

In real life, it's war, and war's not entertainment. War is 'old men lying and young men dying' kind of deal. That's a saying; I didn't make that up.
