And so I was just thinking to myself, first and foremost, I was thinking about

Why is this happening?

Then I had to have like a positive perspective.

And I was just thinking about the irony of a person giving 12 years of their life to the American government.

OK, 12 years of your life, having survived a sonar blast, having, you know, coming into contact with enemies and then spending years of your life asking for an appointment when you know something's wrong.

to be turned down over and over and over again, to be gaslit.

And I know there are so many American military men out there who go through this.

I know we all know what the VA is.

We all know how abysmal the treatment is of people when they come home after having served.

But to know something is wrong with you and to be told to go home

to still have to provide for your family, to get onto this plane because you're, you know, being a tough guy, and to have this medical emergency happen in a country where you have basically been fundamentally told throughout your entire career they are the enemy, and to immediately get an appointment, to immediately get a CAT scan, and to immediately get a surgery, and to get the treatment that he had.

He's still in recovery.

He is still in Russia, and we

Like I said, there were no special calls because we weren't coming in to see Vladimir Putin and Alexander Dugin.

So they will be hearing the story for the first time.

I mean, I don't think Vladimir Putin knows I exist, but to then have the exact, to have that perspective, to...

see how wrong and how backwards that is.

It has really, I don't know, just it makes me angry in a lot of ways.

It makes me angry in a lot of ways that that appointment didn't happen on American soil.

And simultaneously, obviously, we were losing sleep because we didn't know when things were touch and go what was going to happen.
