You know what I mean?
So like when you, when you look at like the big advancement of this, like, and then you had to test it and then we seen how we got that wrong real quick.
Um, so we got to backtrack on that and we got to find other modalities.
And so, and, and, and that 50 years, I, I'd have to like look at that up in detail, but it's around 50 years that, that, that was one of, that was the last big advancement when you look at, at medical, when it came to, to mental health, um,
um was was the medication aspect of it and and i think medication gets a bad rap right obviously um when you look at opioids and all this other stuff but it actually is very helpful if it's used in the right ways and it's used with the right purpose and so like i'm not anti anti-medication because if that's the case then you know should we all be having surgeries without anesthesia right i mean you know like i wouldn't prefer it yeah so ah
So, you know what I mean?
So, you know, it's one of those deals.
But, you know, I think for us, you know, the big thing that I talk about back is, I think we first have to set an expectation management.
And where I get really frustrated with the military is the military...
It is actually, if you want to see a precursor of what's about to happen to the entire society, you just watch the military, right?
What happens there first is what's going to come to society.
Look, tons of stuff started happening in the military.
Well, guess what's happening across society now?
I mean, when you look at mental health, mental health started being bad there, right?
It comes across, and so like you could, because it's a self-selected demographic of people, and it's from all, it's the most, it is literally, the military is the most diverse organization that we have in America, right?
And so, you know, they come from all walks of life.
And so for me, I think we had an opportunity to really give society a blueprint for mental health.
and then you came out with a campaign of 22 a day, right?
So I blame the mental health aspect of our
of our military on the NGOs, right?
