The mother of all, I think it's the largest war vehicle in the U.S.

fleet is an Abrams tank.

And at one point, one of the guys is bragging.

He's like, you know, I could take one of these tanks and drive through this house from one end to the other.

And the FBI negotiator said, why would you do that?

Like, what are you even talking about?

So it just kind of puts a pin on like how in conflict they were.

Yeah, for sure.

Like they were, I think on March 21st, they were close to having this resolved again.

I think Koresh was in the final stages of his book of revelation and they were negotiating like fairly successfully to get more people out.

I think they got five people out on March 21st.

The guy in the documentary said a two dozen more were set to be released.

And that's when the hostage, the HRT team, started unilaterally just making decisions, like playing that music.

They played These Boots Are Made for Walking 24 hours a day.

They, just as a complete...

like show a power, they ran a tank over David Koresh's antique Ford Ranchero vehicle in full view of everybody.

So they're doing this stuff to like, they're purposely agitating them.

These people that are already, and one of the Davidians is like, we were already like, like you think this is going to solve anything to agitate us further with this music?

And by keeping us awake, he's like, this could only lead to tragedy.

For sure.
