"With Deepest Regrets" recalls Robin Michael Smith's early memories of childhood abuse and growing up without a father, and how the events shaped his adolescence. In an attempt to put his past behind him, Smith joined the U.S. Army. He became a scout sniper and a team leader. A few years into his military service, Smith was sent on a mission that changed his life forever. The failed operation led him into a world of contempt, disillusion, and strained images.
