But I thought that trip from A to B would be shorter than it turned out to be.

I mean, would be much shorter than it turned out to be.

Yeah, so about those guys, I was one of the—we were in an all-male combat arms unit.

I think I might have served over the course of my time in Iraq with two or three women who would come into our base briefly and then go.

But I will tell you, men, women—

incredibly disciplined, incredibly, as a rule, I'm not gonna say every last one, but as a rule, incredibly compassionate, literally willing to risk their lives rather than harm civilians, in my experience.

And I just can't say enough about him.

I mean, I remember being walking into it and I was a late replacement.

I was a reservist added on to an active duty unit.

And if anyone knows anything about military culture, being the reservist, especially the lawyer for crying out loud,

The reserve civilian, previously civilian, obviously I wasn't civilian when I was serving, but I had spent my whole career as a civilian, come in rookie military lawyer as a reservist to an active duty unit.

And I was even warned about that unit when I came on.

The other JAGs said, one of them even used the term, I believe, penal battalion, that you're joining the unit that of all the units in the regiment had the most people in it for whom there were waivers when they joined about previous criminal activity.

And so they told me to watch out, to be watched like a hawk

to see if there were going to be discipline issues, if there were going to be morale issues, et cetera.

But no, I mean, no.

The discipline was incredible.

The courage was incredible.

And really the care and consideration for civilian life was remarkable.

So I'll give you a statistic.
