That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives! And my existence, while grotesque, and incomprehensible to you, ''saves lives''! You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you ''want'' me on that wall! You ''need'' me on that wall! We use words like 'Honor,' 'Code,' 'Loyalty!' We use these words as the backbone of a life spent ''defending'' something. You use them as a ''punchline!'' I have neither the time, nor the inclination, to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then ''questions'' the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said 'Thank you', and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand at post! Either way, I don't give a ''damn'' what you think you are entitled to!<br />
