People are these are they are not afraid of conflict.
Like, think about it.
Imagine imagine being actively detested by a group of people whose job is to go, you know, commit to go go to war.
And so I was living in Virginia Beach and I was aware that there was a growing
feeling of disdain towards me.
And I noticed it because guys I served with in Afghanistan were sending me messages, be like, Bro, I do not agree with what you're doing online.
Like it's a fucking embarrassment.
Go fuck yourself.
And and truthfully, I was I felt like I was conducting myself in a way that was not sellout, so to speak.
But now looking back at it, I I was totally being like, hey, I'm a navy SEAL, follow me on the internet.
Um, no matter how I dressed it up, that's that's effectively what it was.
And if I was active duty and I saw me.
Doing the things I was doing, I would have a similar opinion.
Like, who the fuck is this dude?
Like he's done, you did like one tour to Afghanistan and now you're gonna represent the SEAL teams.
Meanwhile, all the guys inside the t the teams, they know in virtue of my limited experience that I am fully aware there are dudes in the teams who are active who've done 15 combat tours that will never say a word.
Got it.
And I know they exist.
But by going out in public and talking about my experience, I'm sort of allowing the public to sort of wow, like this guy, he he's the top of the top.
Wow.
