It was cool.

We got all the air assets in the world, right?

Our mission was, you know, hey, this is 2013.

America's not going to be here forever.

Like we have to train the commandos to stand up on their own.

Um, and so that was an interesting mission set.

Um, but we were also at that point, 12 years into a war and it was clear to us, like, look, this is right.

It was like, don't get yourself killed.

Uh, it was like kind of a mentality.

Um,

over this uncertainty was something that we thought about.

Like get the mission done, don't get yourself killed.

And like, yeah, take it to the enemy when they show up.

I don't think it was hairy, no.

Like we got into some good firefights, which I'm like thankful for and like,

i'm glad the team like had that deployment um and we gotta or rack up like some of the guys gotta rack up some ekia and i get credit for like some jtac kills um but i think it's like one quarter or whatever but um the uh let's hear about it oh the the jtac stuff um let's see there's this one just like a this was uh

got our new JTACs, right?

We have experienced JTAC, new JTAC, new JTACs, the lead JTAC on this operation.
