We probably should have a little bit, but you know, we, we didn't have to as much as this generation, this generation, they don't even know what photos are real.

I mean, it's nuts.

Right.

And so like, if they don't ask why, I mean, the why question for them is, is literally a survival tool for them to get it right.

Yeah, and you know, and I always go back to this why thing and why one of the reasons I'm such an advocate of it is like, I got a medal of honor because leadership didn't want to listen to what I had to say, right?

I mean, I got a medal of honor.

I got guys who are dead.

Because guys couldn't answer why and what we're doing and why we're doing it this way, right?

Instead of answering why, they took me out of the team.

They set me there and they let my team walk into an ambush and they got killed for the same reasons that I asked why, right?

And so I'm a big proponent of it just because I've seen the cost of that.

And I think that any leader that feels that they don't owe the people that they're responsible for

And so he was actually, he was gone that day.

He was actually, he had actually gone home or something.

He was on R&R or something on leave that day.

And that's why that major was in charge of the battle space at that point.

I don't know, maybe he's something, Lieutenant Colonel.

But anyways, he was in that area.

He was in charge of the area that I was in.

And so I knew him very well.
