You know, and if it's... War's not a game. So if you commit to it, like... let's just finish the job as quickly as possible to minimize now death on both sides for an extended amount of time in the future, right? But that's what people don't understand too. And they go, ah, cease fire and this and that and no war. And you're like, well, there's a reason for war.

Here's an advantage. We're going to show up and see how it goes. Do you have any theories on this? I don't know. Yeah, I've got different theories, but it's almost just overarching where it's like the country as a whole, when we have attachments to... We have so many distracting attachments from the truth and reality and things. Everything from...

We have so many distracting attachments from the truth and reality and things. Everything from...

just pressure in your, in like a normal average person's life, just the pressure, right, to, go to school, work, and now you've got a family, you've got whatever, all your responsibilities, it gets stressful, you might feel shitty, you might be coping with shit. We were talking about trauma. You've got your things and you feel it's fucking hard.

And then now we've got so many other distractions on top of that. The attachment to celebrity is a thing for me. So now we have celebrities with opinions and it sounds like an excuse or something small, but I think it's actually having a way bigger effect than any of us want to admit where we go, this celebrity doesn't like the war and they start to speak out.

And now this is the societal pressure, the buildup of social opinion now starts to affect high level leaders and politicians to now go, hey, Killing them good. Like we're getting this war, we're getting this job done like effectively, but it's too effective. So let's still do it, but you know, you know, cut, you know, die it down a little bit. You know, like take it easier on the bad guys.

You know, like we're talking about fucking war. What do you mean take it easier on the bad guys? How? Well, this is how. We're going to start making the ROEs stricter to the point of absurdity, actually, over time to where now it's like, okay, now the mission is just win hearts and minds.

And you're like, oh, my God, how do we – now we've got to pretend to believe in that and do our jobs at the same time and mitigate risk. Guys still get killed because of the mitigating of the risk. Yeah. just gets watered down and war fighters, you know, if that's your role, if you do that, if you're a warrior, just fucking doesn't work that way well, you know?

And it's hard to say and hard for people to understand that, like, the best way for war is as quickly and as efficiently as possible with the intention of minimizing collateral damage. Yeah. It's a very... specific ancient thing, you know, that you want to fucking draw it out. And then now everybody perceives that we lost. I'm like, we didn't fucking lose, man.
