What are your thoughts about the current, I guess I want to say, advertisement of military service, the recruiting and the branding? Again, I guess you can summarize paint with a broom if you want to because I know you can't talk for anybody else, but the current narrative around military service from the military. Any thoughts on your generation's response to that?

I'll try to use that more. I'm still trying to use the word cabal more.

So I know there's a thing called rasp, which I think is the initial portion of selection. There is ranger school. I am not, I have a bunch of friends that are rangers, but I am not have a depth. I do not have a depth of knowledge on their particular pipeline. Yeah. He basically, well, he did like this, but whatever the special forces one was. Okay, so he was a Green Beret?

So special forces is a specific term that references Green Berets. Special operations is the umbrella term that encapsulates all special operations of each military unit or each military branch. Ranger is all I know, so I'm just going to say that. Okay. So that would be a special operations unit inside of the Army.

And so I was like, I mean, cool. Let me ask you this. Um, and I'm not hoping that the situation plays itself out. Let's say that there becomes some type of existential threat against the U S and the messaging changes like, Hey, we need able-bodied young men and women to go and prepare to fight this.

You know, if I was still, what would be your go, no go criteria? What do you think would help you make that decision or prevent you from making it?
