It's unbelievable how this is happening. I'm just wondering, does he know the uproar he's caused.

Basically, he grew up doing everything for himself, and I think this was all to show us he could do this too. It was to prove something to us, that he's not a little kid.

I admire that he was able to survive, but I absolutely don't admire that he did this. My worst fear was that I'd turn on the TV and see my brother and hear someone was killed - a U.S. kid.

Who thinks your little brother will run off to Iraq when no one is looking.

He's going to be swarmed, he's just a kid and he's scared to come home. We had to get a bodyguard for him.

Everyone is really glad to have him home. He's tired, and he wants to relax.
