It makes sense.

Yeah, five.

Well, I mean, I guess a lot hasn't changed in the veteran community.

No, it stays the same.

Not much has changed.

ganja gall ganja gall i was dude that was the one is that i was like yeah you look at you read it and i'm like i'm gonna fucking butcher that no matter how yeah i say yeah i mean you know it was a it was a i won't get like a ton of details of it but basically we were going to go in and run like a key leader engagement um i like was on an embedded training team there was four us and 80 afghans

and um you know we were we operated with them every day and and we were like it's kind of like a train the trainer uh aspect so like you had multiple ranks skill sets and you taught them everything from tactics to logistics and and all this and and i i loved my afghans like my afghan soldiers they were as close to me as the marines were like like we you know we we

we had to have each other in order to make it back.

So like, you know, you you really figure out what matters and what doesn't and what you're going to agree on, what you're not going to agree on and what you care about agreeing on real quick when when your lives are are on the line.

So, you know, we had been there for a couple of months, a few months, two or three months, and we were we'd been asked to come down to run this mission with joint mission with the rest of the team.

So like there was like teams spread out along this corridor or this area.

Afghanistan on the eastern border and so we had gone down to run to we were in this mission brief and the brief was just you know there was a few aspects of it I didn't agree with I was taken out of my team and

So I didn't agree with the communication plan, right?

So the environment over there, because we were rolling at that time on VHF, which VHF is a line of sight style of communication, unlike HF that uses waves and uses the electronosphere and all this aspect to bounce off of.

We were using VHF, which is normal.

And so the problem was, is that when you got across with the terrain where we were at, that VHF wouldn't reach back to the COC, which is the Command Operation Center, right?

So which is where you need all the hub of communication.

Yeah.

And so...

And so because of that, we had put snipers up on this high point.
