In the Marine Corps, they were like, it's just like, we have to mitigate it as much as we can, but if you can't, it can happen.

This is part of it.

It's part of it.

And it's a horrible part of it.

And look, we had other blue on blues that potentially could happen.

We had shots fired.

But we never had it escalate like that one did.

And that's because we learned a lot of lessons from that one.

And we prevented all kinds that never escalated at all, that never happened.

But, you know, it's one of those, it's funny, we, in Extreme Ownership, Leif and I were writing our kind of chapters independently.

And it ends up, there's three chapters in there that are about Blue on Blue.

One of them was Chris Kyle with a PID on a guy with a scoped weapon.

And he's telling Leif, like, hey, I got a guy with a scope weapon in this building.

Is there any friendlies in that building?

And Leif's calling the company commander, hey, do you got any friendlies in this building?

And the guy's like, no.

He's like, we got a guy with a scope weapon.

He's like, kill him.

Because there's snipers that are killing Americans.

And Chris, like, didn't quite feel comfortable.
