We want that to be that way because it's a deterrence for us. It's a capability. And then now when your enemy or who you see as your enemy is now attacking you and killing you and having all this collateral damage, you're choosing the battleground there. And it's such a hard problem to think about. And I hope there's some better solution, some thing that they can figure out.
But we're not there experiencing that shit. And they're having to make decisions on some of these high-level Hamas guys that are using... intentionally using civilians as cover, as a capability, a deterrence capability on purpose. Right. And then it's just a terrible way to fight war, you know, and, The extremists, Al-Qaeda does it. Terrorists tend to do it.

It's not even, in my opinion, guerrilla warfare, really. It's kind of a newer concept, maybe. I'm not even sure if that happened in Vietnam or not. I need to read more, but it's happening right now. And we've faced it too. And we try our best and then we change our ROEs to the point where now we're in danger because as the war evolves,

we lost the ability to the point where it became, hey, you guys aren't even going to do any shooting until somebody's already shooting at you. And you're like, that means some of us can get killed before we even engage. That's a hard problem to have, especially if that's happened. You know, now there's families out there that are like...

They couldn't engage those guys because they weren't allowed to until they were getting a shot at. So just hard things to think about outside of more than just pro-Palestine, you know, Israel and, you know, the things that we attach to sensationalism when we see it on the screen, you know. And some of those people that are attaching to those causes, I think...

is more related to their own validation. They might be lacking something in their own life that goes further than just this thing, and then every time something happens, people in their environment are now attached to these protests and these things, and everybody wants to feel like they are a part of something important. So they go demonstrate, they go do it without even really understanding it.

So it's like whatever's the most accessible thing in your environment to attach to as a cause, doesn't matter if it's bad or toxic or terrible or evil or good, you go do it, I think, for some of the same reasons that I am talking about with this lack of purpose and validation that we all need. Yeah, that's a good point.
