And so I'm sitting there and I'm just kind of laughing at myself.
That's kind of what the science is showing is that
I'm like, look at how ridiculous this is.
You know, these rounds aren't just going off and disappearing.
So you do this hand signal.
They're sending something out that goes through you and does some damage.
You don't say anything.
You don't get up.
If you want the next hit, you just do this hand signal with your hands.
I don't know how many people know this statistic.
I don't know how famous it is outside the military.
You almost make a little heart with them.
But the statistic has been for about a decade now that 22 veterans a day kill themselves.
You put them together, bend your fingers, and make this heart shape.
And I just did that instinctively and took the next, the next hit.
And that number is only going up.
And I mean, that is beyond alarming.
And I wrote in my book that I don't know who made that decision, but if it was my ego jokes on him, cause he killed himself.
I mean, like the first time I heard that, I 100% thought that was wrong.
