And I know that like the audience is going to be like, Oh,

you know, he's a, he's better than everybody else because he's seen combat, whatever, you know, they want to get on.

It's like, no, I'm not.

But also I'm also truthful and honest.

So like, you know, well, and that's what I always say is like, when I hear people talk about

combat and they talk about it in this like romanticized way glorifying it you know i gotta be honest i always for a long time i looked forward to getting shot at right i mean that's what we're taught i mean that's you you train for it but i gotta be honest with you um every time i started getting shot at and it was real like hold on there's a difference between getting shot at and you know a guy knows where you're at and is aiming at you like there's a big difference and um

Every time it got real, I would have gave anything to not been getting shot at.

Yeah.

And you know, the other thing I want to talk about is like, if war was so fun, if it was so awesome and fun, like people try to make it out to be,

We wouldn't have so many people kill themselves in PTSD over it.

How many people kill themselves because they go to Disney World when they're kids?

Yeah, not many, right?

So all I'm going to say is if war was such a great experience, you wouldn't be living the rest of your life having nightmares about it.

I'm just saying, right?

I mean, like if we're just going to call it what it is, like you, you know, I hear all these guys, people say, man, I just give anything to, to, to deploy again.

You're the same person that bitched the whole time you were over there about hating it, hating the military, not wanting to be here.

I think if we're real honest with ourselves, combat is way easier than life here, right?

Like when I'm deployed, I don't have to worry about bills.

I don't have to worry about taking care of my kids.

I don't have to worry about doing life.
