And it's going to go into detail about our background, what we did in Afghanistan, Ukraine, Haiti, Mexico. We've done some weird stuff in several places at this point. But it's a roadmap for how to get good shit done in very weird places and odd circumstances and against all odds, which is really what we pulled off in Afghanistan. Man, that's amazing. And that's how long, Silver?

How long since— I hit two years right around the time I went to use the SOC. We ended up the next month— It's quite the redemption. It gets crazier. It gets crazier.

The next month, we get invited to Capitol Hill to meet with members of Congress and a lot of other soft guys, all right, and our— Childcare canceled the morning of her flight, so we bring Ava. So there's pictures of Ava entertaining former agency case officers, senators. Like, she was the star of the show up there.

In D.C., we started tightening up these circles of people that we know and work with because we've got a reputation at this point as being folks who can get shit done in unorthodox ways. You know, I... If we have something that needs to get accomplished, our goal is to find a way to get it done. And I don't want to worry about stupid stuff like legality until after the fact.

I hope that never comes back to bite me in the ass. I've gotten lucky so far. Right before Christmas, Jess gets a message. We started shutting down the safe houses because we couldn't afford them, you know. Or not just shutting them down. We were trying to find work for the guys or find them a pathway to somewhere else, get them out, get them taken care of.

But instead of keeping that house open and moving somebody else in, we just terminated the lease. And we started doing that in December. Jess gets this message the day before, the day after Christmas from this girl and starts reading it to me. I'm like, nope, we're not taking it anymore.

The next thing I hear is screaming and sobbing coming from Jessica's phone. I'm like, what the fuck is that? This girl has sent her a voice note in real time of the Taliban beating her father in front of her mother. And she tells us about herself. She's Shia Hazara. She's in college. She was 19 when the collapse happened, and she wants to finish college.

Her dad was a commando, served with our Green Berets since the inception of the commando corps, served in the ANA four years prior to that. Like, this is somebody we've got to help. And just basically – she basically told me, I don't give a shit what you say. We're helping them. So she moved them into a safe house. That girl lives with us today in Memphis. Wow.
