Well, so is everybody else.
Everyone's just breaching the hell out of everything.
You're going to enter a building, you breach the door because it gives you a tactical advantage, right?
So guys, civilians were getting injured by breaches.
And eventually they said, hey, no more breaching, no more explosive breaching, done.
So I get this word and, you know, I talk to my guys, no more explosive breaching.
And you know, what's their reaction going to be?
Not good.
Totally not good, right?
Hey, and it's exactly what, it's exactly what you would think it would be.
Hey, wait a second.
You want us to be at more risk.
You don't care about us.
You don't understand what it's like down here.
This is a problem.
You don't understand the battlefield.
Screw you.
That's basically the response.
So, and I'm thinking the same thing, right?
But now am I thinking, wait a second, does my boss want to put my guys at risk?
