“It’s on you, Joe [Biden]. I’m ready to die for the cause, and brother if you say to me you’d do anything to save one life, one life, you said you’d do it. Well, you gotta chance. I want to go home. I want to go home and see my wife. We’re living in a free country, Joe. The choice is yours. If you want to shoot me and take the chance of blowing up two and a half city blocks because that toolbox is full. Full of nitrate. It’s full. I don’t want to die, Joe. I want to go home. Just like the people of Afghanistan want to go home. Them people’s lives are on your hands. All them, dead people’s lives are on your hands. Afghanistan, I’m standing for you strong too. The Mother***ffers should have bombed their a…es and made sure you were alright before they left,” Roseberry stated while inside his vehicle.
