However, the stuff is also very inexpensive right now, and I'm kind of concerned of the non-state actors flying these things into a stadium or a building here.

It's very, very simple to build.

I mean, you just buy a drone, strap a cheap homemade explosive to it, and that would be pretty terrifying the first time when it does happen.

There's no doubt that's going to happen, right?

It's interesting because my experience with war has been on deployments to Afghanistan where everybody's got the countdown.

They generally know when they're coming home or they know when they're going over, and it's such a different mindset in Ukraine.

I made the mistake early on a couple years ago asking soldiers in interviews what they planned to do when the war was over.

And to a man, they said, not thinking about it.

I've got a job to do.

And in this most recent trip, I was with some guys that also asked that question.

It was the exact same answer.

It's like they've got that dialed in.

So they're very focused on what they have to do.

They're serious about it.

They understand the risk.

They don't want to do it.

You can tell they'd just rather be doing anything else.

And they're very happy to talk about what they did before the war.

It's not celebrated.

It's not cheered on.
