No. When I was shooting.

In that position there, about five seconds before I felt that. And I was already hammering away. Because it was really easy. I'm just, nobody's coming through there. It was about five seconds. I mean, five to 10, it was... Wow. It was awesome though. And then I am taking a knee. I'm not getting in the prone. So I'm just, I feel fine. God's got me. My right ear drum blows out. I remember that.

And I look, and there was a Libyan that had taken a knee right next to me in his AK-47 and was shooting with me right next to my head. And that was amazing, because I was thinking to myself, ain't this the damnedest thing? God just gave me a Libyan angel and put him right next to me.

Because he had a button-down shirt, slacks on, like he got off work, and he's sitting there with his AK-47 shooting with me. I never saw him again either that night. I don't know where he went. And then Boone, I'm running, and Boone comes, and Boone takes a knee right on the other side of the road, and he starts shooting with me.

And then Tig gets his gun into the mix on the top of the roof, and it was awesome, dude. It was just freaking awesome. Now, we moved a little bit. After that, we started to move back to vehicles and started to kind of peel out because we had to get out of there. But that moment there for me was, and I always tell people that. And I said, guys, I'm not saying the hand of God is there all the time.

Again, I've never felt it after. I hadn't felt it before, but I felt it that night. So when people say, do you believe in God? I say, no, I know there's God. And he took pity on somebody like me that's probably broken every commandment that we're supposed to keep. No, it was there. I felt it. And people went, ah, bullshit. Fine, you don't believe me. I don't care. I don't think it's bullshit.

And I know. It was amazing. Again, I wish I could say, but it was a golden egg. It was like a Willy Wonka golden egg. Warm, protected, nothing's going to get you. I got you. And we fought them off and we peeled out. And it was hard to leave because we did have a drone overhead watching everything. The ISR had come on station. And Rowan's like, guys, we got to go. They're massing.

They're going to attack the annex. We got to get out. And I'm like, Rowan, we haven't found the ambassador yet. He's like, I know, but we got to go. And you got to make a decision. Leaders always make decisions, even if they're a hard decision. And it sticks with me because you know our credo, dude.
