In Esquire's new story on the man who pulled the trigger during Operation Neptune Spear, "The Shooter" reported that he listened to Game's "Red Nation" while training for combat, saying "It's about putting blood on the ground.

But I feel like "Red Nation" had him on-point." Check out the rest of Esquire's interview with Game here.
