But I said, I've never been in that position. In ministry, I've been with a lot of people who've been in that position, either whether it be military troops or murderers, you know, in prisons or murderers who are, you know, maybe not caught yet even. But this in the military, I think it's a different, you know, you mentioned cheering them on.

And there's like not a, I don't know, I'm not in the situation, but I really don't think there's like a lot of joy in like, like the individual life that was taken, like the person, you know, the, the name, but more so like the actions that have been stopped that they were doing, you know, and that's, I think a lot of people miss that distinction. Um, it's no small thing.

uh yeah so yeah so i was over there in iraq it was it was it was a good experience for me and i don't take it lightly we were shot at a lot but again what i went through doesn't compare to at all anything but other guys and so it's just like a walk in the park um but Like when it came to work, it was just, we didn't stop. It was just logistics, moving stuff all day long.

And so that was a neat experience. But then also to support you guys, like the ones that were out there. I mean, because we would get, all the cargo came through our office and we would get If a shipment came and it was wrapped in all black plastic, we knew. It went to the guys that didn't have a name. Some guys across the flight, well, it was y'all, the different special ops guys.

It would come in, and there was no questions asked. You just call them, say, hey, we've got a package, and they would come over and get it. It was mission-critical stuff. A lot of it was really big, intense stuff. you know, weapons of different sorts, gear. I remember one time, though, like, we got this big shit, man. And I was wondering, I was like, what is in there? Like, I'm curious.

I was always wondering. They bring the big flatbed truck over, and we load it all up. And then all the guys climb onto the trailer and start cutting open the boxes. It was like, it was pallets of gummy bears. And... It wasn't chocolates, but it was a bunch of candy. And they just drove all over the base just like Christmas to throw the stuff out. And I was like, you got to be kidding me.
