In other words, there was no indication that we were under imminent attack

But even if there was, and we responded to what we thought was an imminent attack, we're supposed to go to get congressional approval for a longer conflict anyway.

Yeah, that's a great question.

I joined later in life.

I got an age waiver and I joined at age 36 and went to Officer Basic at age 37.

And it's a really simple reason is that I had supported the Iraq War in 03.

And then I just felt convicted in my conscience that I was supporting a war while I was still healthy enough and young enough to serve in it.

And I was allowing other people to go serve in the war that I had served.

Now, I was not a congressman.

I wasn't a pundit back then.

I was a constitutional lawyer.

But still, whatever little tiny public voice I had back in 2003, I was saying, I think we should do this.

And then my conscience just wouldn't let me stay at home, to be honest.

And I thought, hey, I'm 36.

I bet I can get an age waiver.

And he would have laughed at me.

I walk into a recruiting office in downtown Philly, and I'm just as bald as I am now, covered up by my hat.

I think we go to the same barber.

And I walk in, and I say, hey, I'm a little bit too old.
