That's it.

That's the only job you have.

Them.

So, all those things we asked for, none of them we got.

So people say, well, why'd you go?

Because that's our freaking mission.

That's why we went.

You know, when we were in Desert Storm, there was a crew who didn't want to go north of the border because they didn't feel like they had the right mission equipment on the aircraft.

And they were told, okay, pack your bags.

You're going home.

And two more guys came in and they flew the mission and nothing happened.

So, you know, again, unless it's unlawful,

you've sworn oath to do it and you want to do it.

That's why you're in the freaking unit, right?

If you didn't want to do it, you wouldn't be there.

And I wanted to go.
