Uh you know, I can't explain it except the lack of understanding and maturity.

Uh the other thing is that when you talk to a group of soldiers or marines and you're going to talk about battle, i it's best if you leave that to the commander because the commander is going to be with them or should be, and he should be at the point of the spear because he should share the danger.
