I think of myself as Special Forces, clearing the path for the infantry.
Let's just say I was in Special Forces and leave it at that. People can read into that what they like.
I did not volunteer for the Waffen SS, but was, as were thousands of my year group, conscripted. I did not then know as a 17-year-old that it was a criminal unit. I thought it was an elite unit.
I loved being a SEAL. I loved working with those kind of guys and a sense of mission, and Blackwater was started to continue that sense of mission.
Spartan is about this elite unit of the armed forces named the Delta Force. I play a protege of Val Kilmer's character, and he kind of gives me a hard time.
We're trying to get the SEAL community back to where we think it should be - quiet professionalism.
The SAS Reserve tends to be made up of former paratroopers and commandos who still want a challenge, but it is open to civilians.
I was on the SWAT team in the FBI, and I had always wanted to be in SWAT.
I myself am a former commando fighter.
The Marine Corps is supposed to be the toughest and most rigorous of its class.
I was raised in the paratroopers.
You have to really want to be a Navy SEAL. The passion you need to endure the rigors of training, to become the best of the best... It's admirable.
I started in SEAL Team 3 in 2008.
