It's our country. They've taken it from us. The terrorists who attack us are still free -- but we're not.” I chose this quote because it shows how desperate Marcus is to get his country back, to get his privacy back. He’s telling his friends that if they want their country back, they have to fight for it. The terrorists who attacked the bridge are still free but the citizens of the country are being punished. The DHS spied on people, tortured Marcus, kept innocent people captive and away for their loved ones. The DHS should have searched for the terrorists and with proof, punish them. The DHS captured people without any proof. This is why I think that this quote is important. “That was when I knew that I couldn't run. That was when I knew that I had to stay and fight.” I think this quote is important because Marcus realizes that if he runs away, he might not see the people he loves.

Marcus fought for his country and almost died saving it when the DHS tortured him by waterboarding. Therefore, this quote is
