How do we win this fight? Fine. We get out the gate, we get ambushed. On this road, what do I do? How do we win that fight? So you're just, it's what you do in the corporate world too. So you don't go like this. You're just going through scenarios that you win. And the only way you can do that is through hard training or experience or both.

And by that time, I'd been through a lot of hard training and a lot of experience. So I was able to pull from that. And I know the other guys were doing the same thing because nobody was panicking. Everybody was, Rowan's taking the lead. He's our charge. He's going to take care of this. And we trusted that. So Rowan's talking to the chief. Tig's there too. Tig's talking to the chief.

And the time's just going by. The fighting is intensifying. And then instead of just hearing AK and PKM fire, and you know what this sounds like, we start hearing that. It's like, holy shit. That's a dish cam. Holy fuck. We got to go. You know? Can't do it. We're still waiting. And that's when I saw Tig and Bob arguing. That's the one huge interaction. We didn't put it in the movie.

It wasn't going to have a place in the movie. It didn't need to. But they were arguing. It's in the book. And that's where Tig was told, Tig's like, motherfucker, we got to go. We got to go. We got to go now. And that's where Bob told, stand down. You guys got to stand down. He told Tig and Tyrone and Jack's car right there. And I don't think it was malicious. I don't think it was nefarious.

I think he just was shitting down his leg. Later, it was nefarious with the military not coming. That was purely political, nefarious actions from the power that be, the commander-in-chief and secretary of state and all that. But that, I could be wrong, but regardless, we were told to stand down. And so we're told to wait once, stand down 15 minutes later.

And then at the 25-minute mark of us waiting there, because remember, the State Department guys have our freaks, have our ICOM freaks. They're calling us on the radios. And that was heartbreaking, man. That really was, because we're listening to them, and they're like, GRS, where are you? GRS, where the fuck are you? We need you. GRS, we've been overrun.

GRS, they're lighting the buildings on fire. We're hearing all this, and we're like, guys, rise to that.

We didn't get along. He was condescending as hell. I didn't get along with him. I didn't like him. I didn't care for him. We worked in Mosul together as well. Didn't like him there. I thought we made him pretty. Well, I think that was the combination of characters. We had a team leader, and we had the chief. Chief was very passive. What's this guy doing now?
