The truth is I broke the law, ... disgraced my family.

I know the horrors brought on the men and women that we'll ask to go to war. But I also know the heartache and the pain of the families that are left behind.

I made a very wrong turn. I rationalized decisions I knew were wrong. I did that, sir.

I would say to my colleagues, do we want to subject them to the horrors of war in our own country? ... That's why I have this resolve. I think it's highly probable that that would happen if we don't act.
