When you start messing with the Constitution and what this country was founded on – our baseline is what we call it – it just opens up too many doors. – Marcus Luttrell
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. – 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. – Marcus Luttrell
People always ask me, ‘I don’t know how you could watch that, how that affects you,’ and I just tell them, ‘I went through it in real life, so it’s like pilots watching a ‘Top Gun’ movie or cyclists watching a bicycle movie,’ something like that. – Marcus Luttrell
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
To have people with – with psychological problems have a background check before they can buy a weapon? I don’t think the NRA would pull me off that one. If they do, then I need to be pulled off it because… you can’t give a weapon to someone who has mental issues, right. – Marcus Luttrell
You have to realize, in real life, the gun battle lasted for over three hours, and the movie’s only two hours long. My hat’s off to all those stuntmen who laid it on the line and hurt themselves doing what they had to do to get that done because in real life, we all died, and the only reason I’m sitting here is because of modern medicine. – 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
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
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
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. – Marcus Luttrell
I’m a big tradition guy. If you love this country and study history, then you will love Boston. – 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
War’s not black and white; it’s gray. If you don’t fight in the gray area, you’re going to lose. – Marcus Luttrell
