Quotes
“I wasn’t afraid anymore. Calm down. Stop shaking. It isn’t going to make it any better or any worse. Just take it. I could literally lie there on the bed, close down, and block out the pain. That zombielike state only pissed Leon off more”
Excerpt From: Howard E. Wasdin & Stephen Templin. “SEAL Team Six.” St. Martin’s Press.
This is important because it showed the childhood struggles that Wasdin went through during his childhood. It gives a foundation to show how he persevered later in the book.
“Work was his focus. If I made a mistake or didn’t work hard enough, he beat me”
Excerpt From: Howard E. Wasdin & Stephen Templin. “SEAL Team Six.” St. Martin’s Press.
This shows how although Leon beat him as a kid. His father pushed him to work hard and not give up.
“Slow your breathing. Block the pain; will it away. I could do it as a kid; why isn’t it working yet? I could do it as a kid; why can’t I do it now? It was the same principle I used when I was getting my ass beat as a child:”
Excerpt From: Howard E. Wasdin & Stephen Templin. “SEAL Team Six.” St. Martin’s Press.
