Okay.
What I will tell you is, is like, these are people who go from being mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives.
to putting on a uniform, driving potentially five miles down the road, and showing up to the worst.
Literally the worst things.
And none of it makes sense, right?
When we were over there, you're fighting in a gunfight and it sucks.
Yeah, it sucks no matter what, right?
But I mean, you're standing there and you're talking to a mother who is sitting in the passenger seat of her vehicle as her husband is dead in the driver's seat and her two kids are getting worked on CPR in the back on a Thanksgiving weekend.
And it doesn't make sense.
Right.
And so it's like, and then guess what?
They look just like your people and your family.
And like that, that is hard.
All of it's hard.
But all my point of it is, is like we as veterans didn't get the market on PTSD and, and hard things to go through.
Like,
Our men and women, like first responders that walk amongst us every single day and they are, you know, that are showing up every time we dial three numbers.
They are the people that we should all look at when it comes to mental health on.
And again, I'm not saying they get it right all the time, but I am saying that like what they deal with is is astronomical compared to what we do.
Yeah, and you talk about cops.
