They always taught us in the military that if you are in a situation where somebody walks into a room with a gun, half the people in that room will run, 40 percent will freeze because they want to act but don't know how and they can't think. Ten percent of people will take over and tell other people what to do. You need to be able to take action. To do something.

Additional quotes by Adam Kinzinger

Most of us went into the military because we wanted to be a part of a mission that is greater than ourselves. That's why I think you see so many honorable people coming out of the military. For the most part, for the vast majority of veterans, you get treated fairly in the military. When you take into account all the benefits you receive, you're being paid fairly. That should continue after you're done serving. This country needs to quit writing all these checks to veterans and start encouraging them to make the best of their life ahead. That's another mission I have in Congress: to give veterans purpose.
