I think before, perhaps they were on their heels feeling like, They needed to be on the defensive. But now they're much more forthcoming. They were super helpful. I can tell you the origin story of the football, which they declassified for the book. But I asked this question to Dr. Glenn McDuff, right?

You don't wind up a STRATCOM commander unless you are someone who follows orders. You follow orders.

Well, this is... All right, so you're raising a really tricky, interesting conundrum here. Because during COVID, when President Trump and... the leader of North Korea were kind of locked in various relationships with one another, good, bad, threatening, non-threatening, friendly, just bananas, you might say, like not presidential behavior.

If you were someone watching C-SPAN like I do, nerding out on what STRATCOM was actually saying about all this, you noticed that STRATCOM commanders were speaking out publicly about to Congress more so than I had ever seen before. And this issue came up. Would you defy presidential order?

Well, but now you've raised a great, important, you know, presentation, essentially, because what you're saying is people be aware, right? Be aware of, like, why you're voting or why certain individuals are being escalated to even being able to run for president or... What does that mean? Why are people in America not more involved as citizens? Do we have a responsibility for that?
