So originally.

Oh, so 2006, like most of the kids in my, in the school with me were, were born when I was in Iraq.

Yeah.

Like to put that in perspective, like most of them were born around the time I was in Iraq.

Oh, it's, it's, it's, it's nuts.

But I mean, these kids are, these kids are so incredible.

Like when I hear people talk about like the next generation and like the generation of service members, like these kids could run.

So I'm telling you right now, I truly believe with every moral fiber of my being, if you took my generation of service members and put them on the battlefield against this generation of service members, they would wipe us off the map in 24 hours.

Hands down.

Hands down.

Well, I attribute it to, you know, I think when we look at this perspective of, you know, we're getting these arguments about who's better, who's not, what generation's the best.

I think there's only two factors that you can look at it with, and that is lethality, right?

Or just really the single factor is lethality.

And so I think, yeah, you have to add in like that they do now have like technology and those aspects of it.

But, I mean, you know, we get in these dumb arguments.

I hear my generation talking about, well, these kids don't even know how to sight in with iron sights.

Well, I mean, I didn't know how to saddle a horse in case my Humvee broke down either.

Like, so like, where does it stop?

And so like, but you look at these kids and like, I would argue that they believe in their cause more than we did, right?

Like as soon as you took away from my generation, as soon as you took away war and you took away combat, what'd they do?
