Absolutely.

I will say that the six guys, some of them partied a little too much at the end.

No.

And they actually had to be dropped off in Hawaii because they were in that bad of shape.

They were so dehydrated.

Maybe it was from their time in the jungle.

I'm not sure.

But I always love working with them.

We work with them quite a bit.

And, you know, this whole who's better, six or Delta, irrelevant to me, I'm honored to say,

I trained and flew both organizations fairly regularly and have tremendous respect for both communities.

And anyway, that's out of the gate.

And then within six months, I deploy on my first real-world op, Operation Prime Chance.

It also goes by the name Ernest Will.

uh the iranians and the iraqis were having a skirmish and the iranians as part of this were mining the the persian gulf and they were hitting oil tankers and uh i think it was reagan reflagged some foreign ships under u.s flag to justify using our military to defend these ships

That may not be exactly right, but I believe that that was the rationale behind the re-flagging.

It's easier to sell if you say these are U.S.

ships transitioning to the Persian Gulf at risk of being blown up by the Iranians.

That's why we got special ops units on oil derricks in the Persian Gulf blasting the boats, the Iranian boats that they catch landmines.

It was winding down by the time I got there.
