I did.

You talked to the SOG guys.

They were a little bit reticent to tell you their anxiety.

I don't think many of the guys talk.

I'll admit it.

There were many times I didn't think I was going to live.

But it's not cowardice at all.

What it is is that when you're going to go anyway, it shows the opposite.

I remember my friend Novi, he fought in World War II.

against the germans he was in the czech resistance and then he went and uh fought um in another war into korea and then he came to our war and by then he was he was old and i got to know him and actually a training group and he ran the mortar pool uh because he's too old to go to the field you know and um no yeah and i was doing martial arts big time huh you were serving with world war ii guys

Yes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's incredible.

I know if he fought the Germans from the Czechoslovakia deal, he's a, he's a big Czech guy.

He told me once that he couldn't remember how many times he swam the Rhine

It was amazing.

But Novi was just amazing.

I'll get sidetracked.

But Novi says, I was always stealing his employees because I was really into martial arts and doing that nunchaku.
