It's not you.

Yeah, yeah.

Exactly.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Yeah, and I knew that would happen at some point.

I knew the people would eventually come through a line, a signing line, and say, I joined the military because of you, or I became a police officer because of something I read in your books.

And because that's me, I was I was influenced by popular culture growing up and that helped me on my path into the SEAL teams.

So I knew what happened.

I didn't really conceptualize it any further than that.

But when it happened, I was first time, which was a couple of years ago because the first book came out in 2018.

So someone reads that at 16, 17, 18.

Now they're a few years into this career in law enforcement or in the military.

And and guys have come up and said that now.

And I'm always like, oh, man.

I hope you made the right choice.

I'm like, oh, I hope I was just one part of a lot of information that you took in in order to make this decision.

But they do say it now.

And like with David Morrell in Phoenix the other night for the launch of the book, he has been through like burn units and stuff, saying hi to people as part of like USO tours and stuff.

And people like missing arms and legs are totally burned.

Say, hey, I joined the military because of Rambo.
