And Jack kept fighting. And Boo kept fighting. and we fought those guys off that were coming for us. Boone and Jack Primar, they had better avenue fields of fire than I did. And they did awesome. But the mortar stopped. And at the time, I was like, wow, I wonder why they stopped. I mean, they hit with the building they wanted to hit. It was far for effect. They had that thing locked in.

That's our main building. That's Skiff. That's where all of our troops are. That's where all of our equipment is. That's where all of our comms are, is that building. They knew which building to hit. And unlike David Petraeus, who needs his ranger tab pulled, that said, well, it must have been a truck, and they just ran a truck, and they just haphazardly put a mortar tube in the back of a truck.

Come on, man. Come on, man. What's up, infantry officer? I got respect for Petraeus, but when he said that, I'm like, dude, come on. Anyway, the reason they stopped the movie, I wish they would have edited it a little bit better. You see the militia take off before the mortars came. They actually took off after that first shot. When I heard that, they must have heard it. I don't know.

They must have known who it was more than me, which then my hearing had gone to shit. They took off, and then that first one hit. They went and took the mortar team out for us. Their commander had actually come in with our team, and he was in Building C when those mortars were hitting. So that first one, they scattered because that's their tactics.

They knew something was coming, a mortar was coming in, so they're moving their vehicles. So they're not part of the carnage. And then I could hear in the distance, tires screeching, gunfire, in the direction where the mortars were coming from. And they went and took the mortar team out for us because their commander had got caught in Building C when the attack happened.

Lord works in mysterious ways, brother. Yeah, no kidding. And the ironic thing is, too, is the mortar team, that whole militia belonged, they were former Omar Gaddafi commanders. Wow. We got saved, you know, we got saved by Omar Gaddafi. So for anybody to think that we went in there to overthrow them or Qaddafi, that's bullshit.

We went in there to destabilize a region so the Muslim Brotherhood could come in and stabilize it under that foreign policy under the Obama administration. And we needed Qaddafi's weapons to go and give to the friendly militias, as McCain would say. But anyway, they saved us and mortar stopped. And then at 7 a.m., you know,
