Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, Northern Africa.

And then a lot of people don't know it, but we were in active combat operations in the Southern Philippines as well for a fair amount of time.

I want to maybe say seven or 10 years we were doing combat operations.

When was this?

In the Southern Philippines.

My first deployment to the Southern Philippines was 2007.

Who were we doing operations against?

So there were terrorist elements down there that were traveling back and forth from Pakistan and Afghanistan.

And there was a terrorist organization down there called the Abu Sayyaf Group.

And there were other ones as well.

Jama Islamia, I think, was the name of the other one.

And they were conducting their own terrorist anti-Christian operations in the southern part of the Philippines.

In the southern part of the Philippines, can I say it?

Can I say the word?

What do you mean?

Jamie, can you pull up a map of the Philippines?

Can you pull it up?

Say that term?

Yeah, pull it up, Jamie.

I've been listening to it forever.
