Casualties of a battle fought entirely against themselves.

It's so demoralizing.

It's a brutal one.

I mean, but if you're in you put yourself in their shoes and they're all they all have the lesson of the Battle of Attu, which was brutal.

And the the Japanese fighters, of course, out there somewhere.

They had a warfighting ethos called Bushido, which was sort of a descendant of the samurai discipline where we're like they are all in and just they will not surrender.

They will just attack and attack until basically they're.

You are perfectly capturing the fog of war.

That is what the fog of war is.

It's like maybe we sit down and just have a cup of tea.

And just calm our nerves.

Our nervous systems are overactive.

We're not making good decisions.

Let's just everyone breathe.

Let's be mindful for a second.

But then, of course, you instantly panic because you're like, I don't think the Japanese guys are being mindful right now.

They're trying to kill us.

Well, there was even more danger afoot offshore.

The destroyer USS Abner Reed.

Remember, there's a hundred ships.
