Because you're trying not to get pessimistic, but you're like, you know how many calories I just, how much water, just doing all this and for nothing. Put it out of your head. And what snapped me out of it too is Rowan came across the radio because he's still moving because he needs us to suppress. At least that's what he thinks anyway.

He's doing a damn good job on his own, all three of those guys. He goes, Tonto, I need your eyes, man. I need your eyes. I go, Rowan, this roost is a bust, man. I said, shoot, move and communicate. I'll meet you in the middle. And that's what we did. And we ran down the stairs and went to the back gate. And just like the movie, we just climbed over the back gate.

What was awesome is there was a commander that pulled up just like that movie. He pulled up with his vehicle. And I actually wanted him before we jumped over the gate. He got there before we jumped over the back gate. I wanted him to push it open with his car. So it's like, let's just open this car. He goes, wait, Mr. Wait. And he got on his phone and he started dialing a phone number.

And I was like, who the fuck are you calling, man? It's like, just wait, wait. I go, who you calling? He goes, I'm calling the bad guys. I'm negotiating surrender. I said, who the fuck? I said, you doing the what? I said, motherfucker. And Boone's yelling at me because he's already inside. He climbed over the gate already. And Tig's yelling at me to get inside on the radio.

He's like, we need you, Tano. Quit fucking around. And I just let it go. And he was one of the guys that was going to facilitate the counterattack later, but I didn't know. And so that little argument you see me get in with, that actually did happen. That happened as well. And I got in there and we fought, we pushed them off. It's a nine-acre compound.

And for the next hour, we just were trying to find the ambassador running in the burning building, trying to locate all the State Department guys, because they were spaced out everywhere while fighting off the bad guys, pushing them off.

Americans are coming, we got to go. there wasn't much of a gunfight coming up on. We got in there, Americans here, we got our night vision on, even though I'm wearing shorts, I still look pretty Terminator-ish with all the gear on.
