You poured into me as an American citizen what you expected me to excel at.
You spent a lot of time and energy developing me as a special operations soldier, and it's still my requirement and duty to give back.
So that's that kind of bookend on that one.
Going back to what you're saying, I don't think people fully appreciate โ
how vast and deep this level of evil is in the United States.
And the thing that's fascinating to me about trafficking or this sexual exploitation is it's based upon
innate qualities.
So when we go through life, I like to point out to the Maslow's hierarchy of needs, where first you have to have security, you have to feel safe, you have to have a place to eat, you have to have a place to sleep.
But then we're all very rapidly, once those are provided, and there are people that are still in that space, but we look for love and we're looking for self-esteem.
And even as you progress into your teen years, that's where we're at.
There's a vulnerability there because you are beginning to separate yourself from your parents.
Otherwise, we'd all still live in the basement, right?
There's a built-in tension with parents.
There's a built-in identity in independence that comes with maturation, you know, in adolescence.
And there's that pursuit to find somebody else who provides you that self-worth and provides you that self-esteem and starts to show you love.
That's design.
That's God's design.
That's our bio...
Our biomechanical design, you know what I mean?
That's the way humans are built.
