You know, and we're good at what we do, but come on, let's be realistic. But, you know, and then at the annex, at the consulate, yeah, easily, 40, 50 that we got counterattacked. I mean, it was 40, 50 at a pop. And yeah, we were killing them. we'd shoot them.

And that's the, you know, a lot of us, unless it's within, a lot of us that have been in combat, and I'm not saying in a bravado thing or an ego thing, it's just how it is. At a distance, five, five, six, if you hit somebody, sometimes it doesn't keep them down. If close you're in, it's going to. If it's me to you and I hit you, yeah, you're going down. You're not getting back up.

You're not getting back up.

But at 50, 75, 100 meters, you might. But generally, they're going to be able to get back up. And they'll probably bleed out or they're out of the fight, depending on where you hit them. But that was where it could have been. We have estimates. I've seen estimates of Wikipedia like 1,000. No. No. 200, 300 over the whole night. And who knows?

Some of those could have been attackers, the same attackers. We killed, I don't know. I've got reports again. I've seen reports about, no. I think we killed. I know, I think 100, 200. I think we did. Oz had contact at the hospital there. And, you know, Oz and I still talk. We get along or not, we still talk every once in a while.

And I remember when we got back, I asked him, I said, what's your contact? Because, you know, we're Americans. We like to keep score, right? And I said, dude, did you ever get a word how many we got, man, how many we killed? And he goes, I didn't ever get a number, but my contact at the hospital said that they just kept bringing bodies and injured in all night.

So I was like, well, that's good enough for me. I mean, after that, it didn't matter because it was nice seeing them turn tail and run. That's even more. But, yeah, we fought them off. And the reason Tig didn't die – The gelatina bomb hit him and it landed right by his feet and blew up. It's just because he's so big. It would have stopped my heart.

You know, it's just a big, it's just a huge flashbang. It's used for fishing. It's for dropping in the Mediterranean and blowing fish come up. It's Mediterranean redneck fishing. But it fucked him up. He still has problems. His shoulder goes numb. His back's out of whack. But he got up. And that's a testament to how tough he is. He got up and he got back in the fight. And he actually got hit.

A round hit his armor. It was a piece of a round. It hit the metal post and sheared either the post or something. It hit him and knocked him down. He got up and kept fighting. And he's a tough son of a bitch. He's a tough redneck. Takes good people, man. Yeah. But it was awesome. And it gave us a wave of confidence. It did. It's like, okay, we got this.
