His wife's sitting there. His wife's Texas woman, hard as nails. I go, ma'am, I'm sorry. She goes, no, I've been telling him the same thing to tell. And I said, well, why hasn't he? He goes, because they're going to pull his pension if he does, where he don't get his retirement. And I was like, okay. I'd never say anything about it again. I love the guy. I love him.

And he has a lot of info out there, but I do respect people and their family. And if that's not for my selfish reasons or anything else, I understand that. I never bugged him about it either. And I never will again, because I respect that. I do. Is it right? No, I don't think it's right, but I still respect his decision. And he did try. He did try his ass off. Well, 3 a.m., we get hit again.

And it was like the movie show. It was just, they did the same tactics, and we just crushed them. It's like waves hitting a retaining wall, man. And it was very, very satisfying, but it was, man, how long is this going to keep up? Because we had a ton of M4 ammo, tons, but we're eventually going to run out. We're eventually going to get tired.

We're eventually, they're eventually going to get it figured out and hit us with a car bomb. I was so shocked they hadn't hit us with a car bomb yet, because that was, in Iraq or Afghanistan, that's probably what they would have just done, throw a car and blow up the wall, but they hadn't. So I was really shocked at that, but... You know, you think about your family a little bit.

And before that second attack, I had thought about my family, and I just remembered the phone call, and I just remembered it briefly. And I thought about them, and I just remembered, the last thing they heard from me, did I tell them I loved them? And I did, so I was okay. I didn't think about them the rest of the night. It was the last words.

And my daughter, my son, and my wife know that I love them. Before I got off the phone, yeah, I told them I loved them. Out of my head, the rest of the night. And by 3 a.m., you're starting to get in what I was doing at that point in time, having some self-reflection, getting motivated that They are going to breach the walls probably eventually.

And then I got to get it in my head that we may need to start. It's going to get close quarter and we're going to maybe start stabbing. It's going to start knifing. And that's a totally different animal than shooting. It's intimate. And if you're used to that, there's something wrong with you, in my opinion. I mean, shooting, I understand. I've done that. It's kind of impersonal.

And because of the way we're trained, it's almost like you can imagine targets. And also they're terrorists. Who gives a fuck? But when they're up and you got a stab,
