Right.

And I'm still trying to do that in their country by myself.

My team's in a neighboring country.

I'm not sitting there with a radio like a calling time.

So it was a lot of pressure.

I mean, you know, outside of that, kinetically, if you're asking, you know, those type of operations, I was, you know, when we got number six, if you, you know, number one through number six, when we got number six, the command killed number six.

And Aziz and I put that operation together.

I was probably one of the most...

one of the biggest operations i did you know we put a lot of weeks putting it together and aziz and i spent uh over a month ahead of time building an operation and getting an assaulter zone number six and uh we got we had a chance contact with some taliban in the middle of that operation and um and got uh aziz and i got had a had an encounter with about 20 to 30 taliban fighters and and uh so that was well we clearly know how that went

Yeah, we got out of there.

Good gosh, man.

Yeah, so that's, you know, Afghanistan was a wild, wild west back in those days.

But, you know, working at the unit, like as a young recon Marine, you think any special operations, to go there, you got to be pretty narcissistic.

Like you got to have like this kind of like, you think your unit's the best and then you go, you know, from recon and I went to force recon and you're meeting these,

and then you always had this comparison between recon and seals and uh and then when when i go over to you know jsoc and see those guys there man there's the guys that work there that unit or those units are just the most incredible like people you ever get a chance to work around it's been the biggest privilege of my life working around those guys and getting to be on those operations and uh you know it's it's incredible and those guys i still am very involved like i'm i'm going to speak at a jsoc unit next month

And, you know, every generation you see like, man, where they find these kinds of humans, like the, not just the physical like fitness, but the critical thinking, how intelligent, the highly intelligent some of these guys are.

And we, you know,

I listen to his show and anywhere you turn, you can be real hopeless about our culture, but in our culture, we're still able to find those caliber human beings to do that job.

And they still exist today.

And I get to see them and go speak to them and help encourage them to do their job.
