Like, I kind of knew it.
So the guys were tracking.
The guys knew what was what.
And, bro, the idea...
You know, it's like I had a guy named Dean Ladd on my podcast who is a Marine officer in World War II.
And like, he's going into Tarawa.
And the threat brief that they're getting for Taro was like totally out of control.
You can see it.
The Japanese are dug in.
They got mortars trained on the beach.
They got machine gun pillboxes, the whole nine yards.
And Taro was tiny.
And I asked him the same kind of probing questions that you're asking me of like, well, how did you feel?
And I was like, well, were you nervous?
Were you scared about getting wounded or killed?
And he goes, that always happens to the other guy.
And that's exactly, you know, that's how I felt.
That's how I can just about guarantee you every guy in Task Unit Bruiser, when they heard we were going to Ramadi, was like, hell yeah.
Every single one of them was like, hell yeah.
Nothing bad is going to happen.
