It's actually true.

Is it really?

It's actually true.

Not that I hated them, but that I might fire them.

I didn't know who they were.

I didn't know what their attitudes were.

I didn't... I didn't have high expectations that they were going to be, you know, successful or good.

And so...

And you know what?

This is another thing I stole from Hackworth.

This is exactly what Hackworth would do.

Hackworth's like, yeah, when I meet guys, I don't know who they are.

I don't know what they're going to do.

I'm not going to become friends with them because if they're not capable of doing the job, I'm going to get rid of them.

And so, yeah, there's a reason why I didn't like bro out with them when I first met them because I will fire them if they're not going to do their job correctly or if they're

more concerned about themselves than they are about the platoon.

And if you're more concerned about yourself than your platoon, you will not work for me.

You will not work for me.

And I will do everything I can to, like, get you out of the SEAL teams.

So, luckily and thankfully, those guys didn't have an ounce of that in them.
