Vietnam guys, if it was a platoon in trouble or a downed pilot, they were going.

Same thing with the Seawolf pilots, by the way.

Seal platoon in trouble, they're going.

That's what they're doing.

And when our army brothers are asking us for help, we go.

That's not a decision.

That is duty.

That is being a frogman.

And I also told him if we had a crystal ball and we could tell when something bad was going to happen, of course, we wouldn't do that thing, whatever that thing was, but we don't have a crystal ball.

And combat is inherently freaking dangerous.

And Leif understood that.

Leif understood that.

It didn't make it any easier for his soul, for his heart that was broken, but he understood it.

He understood that that's what Mark, you know, and I was talking to Mark's mom the other day, and Mark has had a huge impact now.

America's Mighty Warriors, like, is an incredible organization that's helped out so many, not just SEALs, but other people.

And she said, you know, she said, you know, if I could talk to Mark and Mark had a chance to go back and not sacrifice his life on that day, but none of this other stuff would have happened, he wouldn't come back.

I'm like, I know.

So this is what we do.

This is what we sign up for.

And that's part of being a frog man.
