On combat story, we ask each veteran the same question, would you do it all again?

The pain, the sacrifice, the loss, and here's what they had to say.

Yes, that was what I was destined to do, and I think that's why I was a good young fighter,

I was like that what I find. Not many people get, I think, the opportunity to truly do what

they were meant to do. Yeah, like if I had the opportunity to go back, there's no way I could turn that

down. One hundred percent, I wouldn't change anything because I firmly believe that the lessons that I

learned in 2010 in Rusegaon Province, the lessons I learned there in blood almost dying, I was able

to pass those onto guys that I do believe have saved some lives. One hundred percent. I would

do it all all again and even even the things that I regretted in the moment, I think I would do

the same way. Even if I knew everything, even if I knew I would have to walk in the same exact

path and the same exact footsteps, I would definitely do it again. Yeah, I would go back as it's

do say the best in people, so it's such a great experience. I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Yeah, everything that has happened to me, every choice that I've made, or the choice that I haven't

made, is a part of who I am today. That wouldn't change a thing because they led me to where I am,

who I am, and who I'm with today. 100 percent, 100 percent, and when I did it all again,

I'd work even harder to lose less people. You know, like we all, all seals worked really hard

to some degree. You know, a lot of the things that happened were just a, sometimes just a function of,

you know, the sheer number of operations and things that all my teammates went on, like we're

lucky that it wasn't, you know, 10 or a thousand times worse than it was, but I think you will

be hard pressed to find a single service person who says that it wasn't worth it when they wouldn't
