I recall reading of heavy tequila drinking and coke use in his younger days. I also recall reading how he said his life changed 180 degrees when his son was born. His comment was to the effect that he would "Throw himself in front of a bus" for his new baby.
Ironic that he'd sacrifice himself for his baby, but will sacrifice thousands of other lives for himself without a blink.
God's surest test of man. Looks like he has love for his child, but not for all of God's children.
