That was never, that was never really something I thought too much about.
My career was really about just being with the platoons.
About the fucking job.
Yeah.
Yes.
And I get it.
You know, it's another thing when I was the Admiral's aide, I saw what the Admiral did, you know?
And he had a great attitude about it.
You know, on September 11th, I think he started his job in the Pentagon as an acquisitions officer.
And one thing he told me, he said, when September 11th happened, I check into my job as the acquisitions officer.
Last job in the world I wanted to do.
You know, because he joined, he probably got in the teams in 1976 or something.
No Vietnam.
I don't think he, no Gulf War.
And now this big war starts and he's in the Pentagon doing acquisitions.
And he said, you know what, Jocko?
I said, this is my foxhole.
I am going to fight.
And that's what he did.
And I think that attitude, regardless of where you are, you know, sometimes I get people that were in the military and they didn't deploy to combat.
