Afterwards he is pretty upset about his kill but earns the name "Legend" for his many kills.

Every time he comes back he becomes more distant with his family and wants to go back to fight. On his third tour he comes back with the guilt of losing 2 men and 2 friends. Which makes him taking yet another tour making it his fourth tour. His wife Taya is not so happy about is says that she may not be there when he comes back. But that doesn't stop him.
