So we know all the bad things they did.

And they definitely did some silly things.

They were a pretty gung-ho up through the 60s.

But by the 70s, when I started there, Jimmy Carter was in the White House.

The director was a man named Admiral Stansfield Turner.

And when we went there in training, they said, who would you like to meet?

We're back to Kit Bennett's again.

But I said, I wouldn't mind meeting the director.

And I remember the guy saying, you don't want to meet him.

He's an asshole.

Oh, OK.

They still had that American attitude, you know, the thing that we used to love about the Americans, you know, the sun will come up tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar, the sun will shine.

We can do this.

See that guy there?

We'll get him.

You know, that was their kind of attitude.

I found them very upbeat, but I kind of found it refreshing.

Oh, I think they definitely thought they were the ones leading, but they did have a respect for, yeah, we were the good guys.

And we, you know, Churchill said, you know, what are two countries separated by a common language?
