Additional quotes by Tim Collins

If there are casualties of war, then remember that when they got up this morning and got dressed they did not plan to die this day. Allow them dignity in death. Bury them with due reverence and properly mark their graves.

It remains my foremost intention to bring every single one of you out alive. But there may be those among us who will not see the end of this campaign. We will put them in their sleeping bags and send them back. There will be no time for sorrow.

As for ourselves, let's bring everyone home safely and leave Iraq a better place for us having been there. Our business now is north. Good luck."
