I mean, they got the other guy to admit that he killed him in the last day of trial.
You didn't even kill the ISIS fighter.
So it's Eddie Gallagher or Clint Lawrence or...
the Raven 23 guys who you've had on the show.
A couple of them didn't even pull the trigger in the actual incident.
Matt Goldstein's the other one I'm thinking of, a Green Beret.
So yeah, I mean, chapter 10 and 11 are more lethality, less lawyers, and the laws of war for winners, talking about exactly this.
And this is why I was proud to be a part of, in a small way, behind the scenes,
with all of those, with the pardons that came for President Trump and what his instinct was, hey, I'm with the war fighters.
Like we sent them to do these really dangerous, dirty, difficult things that no one else would do.
And then sort of like the line from A Few Good Men, and then we challenged the manner in which they do it.
And even when they do it in a way we may not like or maybe people don't understand, rather than giving them deference or having their back or finding a way to support them, we throw them under the bus.
And the Raven 23 is one of the most egregious examples of that because it was politically expedient for Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden to do that.
It was a gift to the Maliki government because of the publicity that had come out because of it.
And so you have a Pentagon that starts to be complicit with that way of thinking, and it's all about advancement and covering up problems, and they don't have the backs of guys.
Loose of engagement are a huge problem, as you know.
That's another one.
It's a big one.
That's why I say the rules of war for winners, because why are we fighting an enemy?
Why have we spent the last 20 years fighting enemies that don't abide by rules at all?
