It's really hard to look back at decisions made in the the fog of war as they call it and understand them.

Because they're they're decisions you make when

You've been trained to kill and you've been trained to be at war.

You're making decisions that are that are

You've been trained to make, I hate to say it that way.

You've been trained to be aggressive, to be violent, and to be ready to step into the fray and do, you know, your country's b uh bidding or whatever.

When you sort of come back to reality years later, it's just hard to reconcile that you did those things.

They're not wrong.

It isn't even like, oh my God, we you know did something horrible.

A lot of the things you're thinking about are the sort of standard fare for war fighting.

You go into a building where there's a guy trying to kill you and you end up prosecuting the the target and you kill the guy.

He was shooting at us.

But like I have memories of like

Oh, there's the guy that was, you know, the the father of the kids that we pushed over there who were crying in the corner.

I'm I'm fingerprinting their their dead father.

He tried to kill us.

We're at war.

It happens, right?
