And they all had that thousand yard stare.

And what I realized is they had just been through all phases of ranger school.

This is two months in simulated combat, one mil a day, four hours of sleep a night.

And they had this stare and I recognized that as something different.

And what I realized in coming back from six RTB from Florida phase back to Fort Benning, Georgia to graduate, guys looked at us the same way.

And when I have talked to you about this subject matter, you've had a similar stare.

And what I don't think people understand, and maybe they do if they've been through something like this, is when you go through something so powerful,

profoundly traumatic that involves the closest and nearest, dearest people that you love, you do so and you suffer in silence.

And when you do that, it changes you.

And I knew when I was going through my experience and you were giving me advice that I recognized something different in you that you had already been through that experience.

You were the ranger who just offloaded the truck.

Yeah, but I went with SEALs too.

It's a good punishment.

But I recognize that that was likely.

something that was changed in your life and not that, not to put your business out there like that, we've talked about it several times.

Yeah, and that's the perspective I got is that you had been,

the ranger who went through it all and you had been back and you were like offering a fourth RTB ranger the advice on how to, you know, pick yourself up and get through it.

And one of the best pieces of advice you gave me was, look, there are gonna be things said on the other side.

Don't ever fall into that trap.

Don't ever insult their mother.
