Oh, I didn't know if I wanted to, like never thought about it before then, but it turns out something I do well.

Well, this goes back to the politics of it is the general at the time wouldn't let us to do it, to hit a target in Afghanistan.

We needed U.S.

eyes on.

Makes sense.

So how do you get US eyes on?

You have to send out reconnaissance guys.

And that's what I did.

And then, but you can't, no one can leave the wire.

What's the wire?

The perimeter, the base.

You can't.

So the general's like, no one can leave the base, but you got to launch reconnaissance to get USIs on.

Someone's going to have to leave the base.

Well, the only reason they sent me is they kept me in because I was coming from one base to another and outstationed to a major base.

I was in transit.

So they just kept me in transit for weeks.

Basically.

they had to lie about what I was doing to make the first mission.
