Like step up and do the right thing.

Yeah, these guys are my friends.

You know why these guys listen to me?

Because I listen to them.

You know why these guys treated me with respect?

Because I treated them with respect.

You know why they trusted me?

Because I trusted them.

And when that's what you do, that's how it is.

And that was the attitude that I had.

I wasn't really concerned about that.

These guys were my guys, and I trusted them.

They trusted me.

you didn't know any of them prior to you coming into that platoon i knew the platoon chief yep the platoon chief was another you know team one e5 mafia guy from from back in the day so it was great it was great to have that instant connection but i don't believe i knew one single other person in that platoon because i'd been out on the east coast and then i've been in college so i don't think i knew once the sister platoon the my sister platoon

my old running mate, the guy that told me, hey, you're not the only one that lost Grizz, he was the LPO in my sister platoon.

No shit.

And I got to do some ops with him.

Which was as good as it gets.

Uh, there was, there was a few things that happened where you, you like, uh, there was the CPA and Najaf was being overrun and we needed, they needed QRF.

Najaf is five hours away by Humvee and they need a QRF and they called us.
