When I go home people’ll ask me, “Hey Hoot, why do you do it man? What,  
you some kinda code junkie?” You know what I’ll say? I won’t say a  
goddamn word. Why? They won’t understand. They won’t understand why we  
do it. They won’t understand that it’s about the men next to you, and  
that’s it. That’s all it is.

My apologies to the Black Hawk Down movie crew, and the service men  
there.
