Teflon Don gets down as he preps for patrol:
"You can think of it as duty- you have a job, and that job requires violence. You can hate- the easiest of all excuses, and the most exhausting. You can look at it as simple survival- if you don’t kill him, then he’ll kill you. However you justify it, you are still in a war, and people will still die. It wears on everyone- the American deaths, the ‘collateral damage’…the innocents killed when some faceless murderer blows himself up in a crowd. Yes, even the enemy dead take their toll."
