Besides all his horrific things he had to do for America, he doesn't look at it like that, he looks at it in a different way.

This guy is a warrior. He enjoyed combat. I knew a Vietnam vet that enjoyed combat. He said he was terrified on his first tour but learned to love it . He signed up for 2 more. He claimed his marksmanship improved considerably.

I think I finally understand what a psychopath is.

[@Yarblocosifilitico]

My thoughts as well. Yet most people are praising him. Funny how that works.

[@armbullytv]

You just feel threatened

This guy would of been great at anything in life that he chose to do ,business ,professional sport ,father ,husband ...serial killer

[@occamsrayzor7999]

His story about how the scariest and most times he was shot at was at checkpoints manned by grunts when he was undercover as a "cab driver" wearing Iraqi clothes. SOP was get out of the car from a distance, slowly walk toward the checkpoint while holding his military ID and yell out as many American slang and profanities as he could.

[@Smurffitness]

It’s interesting to compare a guy like him to other tier one ops that have been on. Eddie Penny, Dom. All seem to be sorta hesitant to talk about the kills. Where as John seems to be thrilled.

[@letsssgooo4618]

This sounds like the part of the war that every soldier dreamed of experiencing. Running and gunning with a small amazing crew and being able to call in air strikes, anytime they wanted, every single asset available to you lol and you get to wear whatever tf you want.
