So you're right.

Majority, so 81 or whatever the percentage is, I'll just say this, the majority of kids that are joining the Marine Corps don't drink or joining the military don't drink.

But then there's a drinking issue at some point.

So at some point, our culture is now making us worse.

You see what I'm saying?

So like when our culture is a drinking culture,

Now you're, you know what I mean?

Now you're taking people who don't, who didn't normally do that.

And now you're indoctrinating them into a culture that's now not serving us.

Yeah.

And now they, now they're drinking.

Now it's a cool guy thing.

And, and, and it's a, an aspect that we don't talk about enough is, is like, you know, we, we are not emotionally like we do really good in the military of physically and mentally like building people up.

We do a terrible job at the single factor that you can't avoid, and that's the emotional maturing of people.

And that's why I see I think you see a lot of veterans who struggle because they have no idea how to deal with these emotions.

And eventually they just build up like a pressure cooker and they have no idea how to handle them because we don't.

you know, we've acted like they don't exist.

And it's like, well, it's a reality that they do exist and you better figure out how to, um, you know, cultivate those to where they, they handle it.

So I'd say these kids, I'll be honest with you.

These kids, they ask questions that like, I'll say I'm sitting in this classroom, you know, a lot of the, a lot of the school's classroom and I'm sitting there and I'm like, these kids will ask a question.
