But when you get to an elite unit like that or any unit, and this might be a failing on my part, I fully admit that.

I mean, I was raised when a woman enters the room, you stand up, you open the door for a lady type of a thing like those things.

You stand up for your chivalrous, your gentleman type of a thing.

And now all of a sudden in a leadership position, I'm supposed to treat a female the exact same way that I treat a male going into combat.

There's no way I could possibly ever do that.

I'm going to be much more concerned about her than I am him.

And once again, that might be a failing on my part.

I fully accept that.

And now all of a sudden you're supposed to treat said female who you've been raised to protect, treat them exactly the same way as a guy going into combat.

Right.

Yeah, for me, it even comes, yeah, like I said, it comes down to that.

And it's probably my failing, but maybe not.
