"I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh. I had a great time there. I was a biology major. At one point in my life, I wanted to be a doctor.
Even while I was going through college, I thought about going into the military. And when I was done, it was brought up to me again, about going into the army, and I thought, you know what, I would like to do that. There were lots of other things I could have done but I was just like, you know, I want to do that, and I talked to recruiters around here, I knew the commander of the recruiting station and he was trying to get me signed.
Before I went, I knew about the Middle East as much as I needed to. But it didn't make a difference. I wasn't fighting a political war with them anyway. That was already taken care of. It was a new kind of war that was going to be fought, so that was where I was stepping in.
That's about it. I don't have any regrets. I had some fun over there. I don't want to talk about the military anymore."
