6. I read a post on this on Huffington Post and one of the commenters called Bullshit
on Michael crying about being fucked up. He/she said Ware has been very pro-Iraq War throughout and is one of the enablers who gave all of these glowing reports of how heroic everything was, blah blah blah.

I have only seen him a few times but I remember being pissed because he was alibiing for the military or Bush, so I think I know where the commenter was coming from.

That adrenaline rush is as addictive as any drug. Being in combat, if you aren't killed or fucked up, is a real RUSH. It's like nothing else I've ever experienced, so it's easy to understand how some of these adrenaline junkies like Ware get in over their heads. The tragic part is that so many get to die for someone else's mega-rush.

The thrill of danger, indeed. Rest assured he gets paid the big bucks, unlike the soldiers he hangs out with. (The commenter made this point so I cannot claim it as my own even though I totally agree).

Expect a book soon.
