Because I think my personal philosophy is I will always try to be administratively correct and morally right. But if it's going to come down between the two of them, I'm going to be morally right. And we'll try to make this fit because administrative rules often can't contemplate the crazy situations in life. And so that's why we are a principle-based institution in the military.

We operate on principles of, like, you know, life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, the Constitution protects those things, we live out those values, and then we have all these rules to help us do that. But sometimes those conflict in a crazy situation, and this was one of those things. It was unprecedented to have this happen. And here's the linchpin of the whole thing.

If the US military's 19-year-old, multibillion-dollar intelligence-gathering apparatus is correct, There's no case to be talking about right now. She is a stateless child. Her origin was an Al-Qaeda foreign fighter. I've never seen evidence in five years to even suggest that that wasn't the case. And so I think the reality is that we're facing is the embassy, and we'll talk about how they did it.

But they literally gave this child after she'd been recognized as our daughter by DOD, after she'd been added as a dependent and issued an ID card, after she had an insurance and a full ride to the U.S. like set up with no one and nothing before that claiming her. They handed her over to what's turned out to be non-relative terrorist affiliated folks.

And I think that that is kryptonite for these bureaucrats because they never thought that some low-level officer would be able to still get her out of Afghanistan at some point. And I didn't think that either. Like, that was an absolute miracle that she got out and got safe during the evacuation. I don't think they ever thought they'd be held accountable for what they did to this little girl.

But for us, 18 months before Afghanistan fell, we had a little microcosm of the little value they place on human life over whatever bureaucratic policy they're working at that time. their worldview keeps bumping into reality in very painful ways for real people on the ground. And we saw that with people falling off C-17s in Afghanistan.

We've seen that in people, you know, at best, if they're lucky, wasting away in lily pad countries trying to get to the States. And people have gone to war with us. People have gone to combat with us. People are in danger because of our commitments to them. And I think we saw a microcosm of that really early. Like, I never thought that...
