They have somebody here. And they actually said, we have some people here you can talk to. They didn't say who the people were, but we have people that you can talk to if you feel in a certain way. That's to kind of dumb it down. You know what I mean? I don't want to say we have therapist here on site just because you may have trauma or this and that. It's just people to talk to.

And they said this to me and I went back to my chain and I said, hey, I think I may want to talk to someone. And they said, do you like your job? That's English to me. I understand. And for the next 20 years, there was soon as I think no, I don't think soon as that happened, it was The timer. It's a ticking timer. It's a time bomb. I was that time bomb.

I had no idea how I would internalize that, how I would deal with that, how... volatile, how dangerous. I had no idea what was happening or what could happen. You know, you think you're, especially men, and this goes out to all my men, you know, big, strong, you know, I can lift four, five, 600 pounds and do all this, run forever. And us being our mind is nothing can touch us.

And it was one of my general who actually called me out because he saw it and I got really upset
