I worried about being ambushed.

For some reason, I couldn't leave Iraq where Iraq was.

Everywhere I go, I'm setting up a perimeter.

I'm looking at this, I'm looking at that.

I'm hearing sounds, I'm hearing different

things happen that would automatically

take me right back to a patrol.

Or being outside, like we say in the military,

outside the wire.

So that caused a lot of isolation.

As long as I can control my little area,

then I'm fine.

But outside of that box, I'm vulnerable.
