Speak for yourself, Pauly, but there were several of us deep in the trenches, on the frontline, risking our lives gathering news information in the attempt to capture these two individuals.

The sleep deprivation alone that night would have killed lesser men.

Many of us will be experiencing posttraumatic stress for many months, others years, and an unfortunate few will be going through this for the rest of their lives.

We are heroes, Pauly. Please understand that, and don't minimize the efforts we put forth for this country of ours.
