But then you think you reflect on all that and you're like, you know,
You kill people for the wrong reasons.
You terrorize people for the wrong reasons.
You burned down homes, you blew up buildings, you
basically became a tyrant in a neighborhood that's not your own, to a people that's not your own.
Because when we're fighting insurgents, that's one thing, right?
I don't feel bad about fighting insurgents because Iraq became the playground for a lot of insurgency from different countries.
People from Africa, people from Chechnya, people from all these places came to Iraq to fight Americans.
Same thing with Afghanistan.
But what I feel bad about is like during the invasion, when I was fighting the Iraqi Republican guard who had a uniform and a rank and a name, dude, those guys signed up to defend their country just like I signed up to defend my country.
So who was really the good guy and the bad guy?
Because I feel like I'm more of the bad guy because I invaded their country because I'm just doing what I'm told and they're just defending their country, you know, who's wrong and who's right.
So all that kind of weighs on you a lot, but it's good to at least be able to say,
I don't support that anymore.
Like I don't support wars.
I don't support like this military industrial complex.
And yes, I just talked about how I'm, you know, I basically have contracts for training and stuff.
I want to continue to train our guys for sure, you know, and continue to equip them with like the best stuff in case we do have to fight.
Right.
Right.
