Yeah.

But then getting around the country is a bit different and a bit unique.

I was fortunate my first time to effectively be with the military start to finish.

So I was with an American volunteer that's fought there since 2022.

So we were in a military vehicle and able to just go through checkpoints and go to straight to military headquarters.

You wouldn't be able to do that if you just showed up.

But the weird thing about Ukraine is any one of you guys can just show up right now in Kiev.

You can get there and

and start walking around.

In terms of the OPSEC and the recording, there were a handful of times where they would say no pictures, no phones, instances where we couldn't even bring phones into an area, command posts, some drone factories, things like that.

And then with no phone, there's clearly no recording with anything else.

most of it was pretty open.

Like I was pretty surprised.

I think that I have been, I think I've had better access to Ukrainian military technology and operational security in the last few months than I could get from the US military.

Like I think I would get stopped going on to Fort Campbell and they would say, you can't go to this command post even during a training exercise or you can't look at these screens.

In Ukraine, they're so proud of what they're doing.

They want to show it off that it's kind of the other way around where they're like, yeah, yeah, record whatever.

And then after the fact, somebody will say, you can't show that screen.

You got to blur that.

It's a mixed bag at the very least, not in that location anymore.
