When did you go to Iraq? 09 and 10. 09 and 10. OK. Which was an interesting time to be there because they had already started the withdrawal. So I was witnessing like them ship out hundreds of tanks and everything else. And at that time, so I was in northern Iraq and Mosul and Tel Afar.

And what was interesting is since the United States announced that they were going to stop or going to withdraw, so they stopped shooting at us. They stopped attacking us because they're like, just let them leave, let them leave. And so attacks were far, you know, few and far between.

But it was truly interesting to witness the withdrawal of such all that equipment, as well as to see like it kind of like put the nail in the coffin to understand that that whole war was bullshit because it's like we are still there. People were still dying, not as often as before, because like I said, they were they stopped attacking largely, but not entirely.

So it's like every person from there on out that died. It's like this is literally for nothing. So that that it didn't occur to me in that exact moment. But once I got home in the years following, I was like, I just started to realize I'm like, this was not OK. How old were you when you went over there? Twenty five. And I was twenty six when I left.

I was actually I was kind of older because most people I mean, there's certainly people older than me, but a lot of soldiers over there. There was a few people he deployed with that weren't even twenty one. Couldn't even couldn't even buy a beer. But there they are with a machine gun. So crazy, man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I was I mean, I wasn't the oldest guy, but a lot of guys in their early 20s.

So me being 25 and 26 when I was there, I was kind of like I was older than my sergeant, my team leader. So that was interesting.

Dude, the fallout is still happening. I know a handful of people that have killed themselves. And then my best friend was killed in Afghanistan. And the fallout from that – he was the oldest of six siblings. And what that did to his family is – It's still carrying on. It's the most heartbreaking thing. Yeah.
