Like, we don't have... You know, our training days are cut down dramatically.

Like, it's all very... It feels like a shell.

And, you know, history is full of examples where great empires, great countries overextend themselves like we have for the last 20 years, have an inflated sense of hubris of who we are.

And then when that next big moment comes, we're shocked by how...

We're not as capable as people thought.

No, I'm not talking about, problem is guys like you make us feel really good about ourselves because you watch what Navy SEALs can do and you watch what special operators can do and the incredible things they do on our behalf that mitigate the need for us to do it in a conventional way.

That,

make a lot of those questions moot points because it can be done by somebody else in a highly sanitized way, in a way that's totally detached from how we live.

There'll come a point when it can't just be done that way in some capacity.

I think that's the moment there's the rub.

It's not as much the capability of our special operators.

You could speak to that much better than I could.

It's force on force conventional.

It's China.

or it's Russia or it's some massive internal attack that happens because our border's been wide open.

Yeah, for sure.

Because we're dealing with enemies with long memories.

The Pentagon is in the book the exact amount of years, but in the past X number of years, 10, 12, 15, the Pentagon has a perfect record in all of its war games against China.

We lose every time inside the Pentagon war games.

We know what our real capability... You see, we didn't even get to this part of the war on warriors.
