And what does that age bring?

That age brings, in my mind, besides maturity, also at that time, by the time you're 33, you should probably have already resolved your own death, right?

You should have already figured out who am I?

What's my purpose?

Why am I here?

Where am I going?

What do I want to do?

And if I drop out today...

will it matter, right?

So that needs to be sorted out too.

I think a lot of guys in the unit, they've done that way before they ever got there.

Because I never saw a guy ever hesitate when it came time to fight.

He ran right in there, you know, as willing to get it on.

So there's a couple different variables that affect

you know, combat performance.

One of them obviously is our natural inhibition to engage and kill.

And then the other part on the defensive side is if we don't resolve our own death, we're gonna hesitate again and it could get us and others killed as well, right?

And so,

that's a to me that's a big deal and when i go back circle all the way back around to the venezuela thing you know um here you've got 20 if i somebody quoted like 26 guys i think went in on that target delta operators you know and they smoke check everybody there and um

You know, they went in there because- 33 security guards or something like that, Cuban dudes.
