And then he was like, well, I should probably tell the general.

And so that's when we had the conversation about choosing between her safety and their safety. And I have documentation where like, I cannot do that. I personally spoke to the two at the National Mission Force, and she personally guaranteed they would take them all, because they had no documents and no connection to the U.S. And they were using her military ID to get her on a bird.

and what these what these people on the ground were going through like i'm talking to guys that deployed multiple times the middle east saying it's the worst thing they've ever seen in the g1 and you know they're throwing their kids at the end they're like just for the hope of getting out they're throwing their kids over the walls and they don't know that there's like c wire on the other side and that gets getting hung up in the in the bleeding out and i even had several instances where
