Yeah. And they hired, because I remember they hired all these local, they didn't have enough vehicles to get the pair of guys out. So it was an interesting time. And again, you know, flying into some of these fire bases, man, I would, oh, 2007, I'm, you know, 52 now. So whatever the math is, I can't do that quick on a flight, but I was, yeah.

So a little mid. Early thirties, early. Yeah. I just remember seeing these, we land and, you know, some of the guys, they would do the switches out a couple of times. They would bring a body bag on and, I just, you look at the face in these guys and they just fucking, you know, had their asses handed to them or they've been up all night. And I just thought, fuck, good on you, man.

Like these are young. Yeah. Like, you know, respect. So that was. Interesting and a good experience that I got to see that. But I also saw the struggles that the West were having. And I wasn't questioning it, but I thought, fuck, why didn't you guys hire some of these ex-Russian generals that spent 10 years there and ask them some questions?

And a perfect example is, and I made reference to the Russian aircraft at the end of the runways. The Mujahideen would drive trucks in front of vehicles all the time or mine them. And in Lashkaga... They had a dirt runway outside of town. And the idea was that anytime they heard, they had this beautiful brand new J model C-130.

And whenever he was supposed to come in, the boys would go out, they would clear the runway, try to demine it, secure the perimeter, and she would come in. And one day, sure enough, there was a nice little mine there and it hit the wheel. And that thing was off at the end of the runway, emergency stop. I think within two minutes, there's just a tail left. Everyone got out, but she, she burnt.
