Just because, from a skill perspective, from a weapons perspective, we we were able to get out of this.
If SEALs were getting shot in that initial volley, I gotta be honest, I don't know how it would have gone.
So fortunately, and that's where I'm trying not to be crass, the partner force and the dog get hit.
SEALs take our positions up against walls.
And one of the things that we're great at, uh, really special operations generally.
really but seals in particular.
is you're trained how to do basically everybody's job.
Like uh for example, when you go into a building,
It there's it's a highly choreographed thing with when you're clearing a building, it's extremely choreographed.
But the only way it can work is if you've trained so much with your team that in the dark on night vision, you can read everybody's body language because you don't have time to communicate back and forth.
And so everybody knows everybody's job and how to do it.
And you can just visually understand the tendencies of your teammates when you're clearing a building.
To include if somebody gets shot, you know exactly to step over them and take up their position.
I mean, it's it's unbelievable.
And so we all just began clearing buildings like immediately, uh, because there's buildings everywhere, but there wasn't the luxury of having a lot of people to do it with.
was like onesie twosie going into buildings.
You know, a lot of people weren't in buildings, but it was like intimate, you know, door to door fighting.
For the next six hours or so.
Um, at one point I was up on a rooftop with another guy and he he was filming from his body cam and we're laying down on the on the roof and there's like maybe a foot tall lip that sort of ex the wall.
extended the foot higher than the actual flat of the roof.
