Well, first, thank you for having us on. We really appreciate it. Growing up listening to you and Rush, it's just surreal to be able to sit here and talk with you. Thank you. So I'm an active duty Marine. I'm a major in the Marine Corps. Active duty. Active duty. So all this is my opinion, not on behalf of the government or anybody else.

In fact, a lot of it will be kind of focused on some government action that's happened to our family. I would say describing us, we're a family of five, grown up traveling with the Marine Corps. I've had a child born at every duty station. I'd say we're a pretty archetypical military family.

But he said, he said, what the heck are we going to do with this baby? Walk into dinner. And what baby, sir? And he said, oh, the operators had knocked over an Al-Qaeda facility last night, and there was only one survivor. It was a baby. And we didn't know if it was boy or girl or much details about it, but it sounded like it was bad.

And so your gut reaction and the reaction of folks from the rangers on the ground to medical staff to us was like, well, what can we do? You immediately volunteer. How do we make sure a safe outcome for this child? And it kind of developed from there. And we learned more about it over time.

And now we have like eyewitness testimony and declassified information from the most sophisticated unit in Afghanistan at that time in a 19 year, you know, developed theater with with I guess, a significant amount of intelligence about exactly who was there, exactly what were they doing, and where they were from. Okay, but the actual mission that night has been classified, right?
