Like, let's not do anything stupid.

Let's kind of...

Two bulls on a hill, an old bull and a young bull.

The young bull says, hey, Bob, let's run down and fuck a cow.

And the old bull says, no, son, we're going to walk down and fuck them all.

I felt like we were the older bull in that situation.

um uh b squadron was very much like gung-ho like a ranger squad back then they wanted to wear their bdus and they wanted to fucking run the old course and they're we're fucking got six packs over here you know what i mean and we're fucking intense pat mcnamara's a b squadron guy okay prime example um

And then C Squadron, like, I don't know, from the A Squadron perspective, C Squadron was the little brother.

After Mogadishu, they took hits they couldn't kind of recover from, and it kept them more junior than the other squadrons for a while.

Really?

Yeah, like, I mean, after Mogadishu's fucking squadrons, I think almost decimated, right?

Like, I don't remember how many people died or whatever, but like, that had decimated a squadron.

And then think about this, like some of my buddies were, you know, team leaders in four years, troops are majors in six.

And like, I was the first one to get promoted and take a team.

And it took me like fucking six or seven years.

You know what I mean?

So think about that for experience between the squadrons, right?

But from my perspective in my squadron, that's kind of how we saw it.

Yeah.

Because when you walk down the hallway to chow, if you knew a guy in B squadron, he wouldn't say hi to you if he's with other B squadron guys.
