I don't like being spoon-fed stuff. So there's a lot of subjects in the movie, sure. So I think we want to treat everybody like adults. And it wasn't so much on the why, you know, why the war had happened, You can go down a rabbit hole on why you think the war happened. From oil to weapons of mass destruction, you name it, government corruption. I've read, heard, and seen them all.

Well, that's not for you to make that decision. I don't need to throw my hat in the ring on why. Because it doesn't matter why. Nobody gave a shit about why when we did it. But now they care about why when I make the movie. So for me, it's more about the what. What is combat? What happens after stuff like this? What happens when you're young?

uh it's your first time and you get a grenade thrown in so it was more about the what what does it feel like what does it sound like um and that's that was kind of our focus um and uh if you want to know why then go yeah you know internet's a powerful tool you should go look up why you can't go to that um yeah what's that moment like and not in the movie in

Yeah, that was, I think, when we all, when we, after the IED and I drug Elliot into the house there. That was for me about the time where I was like, yeah, if they wanted to rush this building, you know, we'd take a few of them with us. But yeah, we'd be done. Uh, we all knew that we were, uh, our position at that time was, was crippled. Uh, if they wanted to, yeah, we were done.

And I, I remember like we all think the same cause we're always, you know, we were put when we train, we, you know, we simulate a lot of these, uh, there's no way to predict, uh, two guys getting blown up. But, you know, we do these, these down man drills and we do mass casualty drills and, uh, you know, how to prioritize and execute. Like, all right, these are the priorities.

If you have a mass, you know, multiple injuries and your position is compromised, here's what you're supposed to do. Uh, and a lot of that is just this theory. Um, Because then you don't know what the enemy is going to do. So you can train so much. And we train the failure in a lot of things. And they're like, all right, what'd you learn? We do it again. And then they'll add something new.

So we were constantly training the failure to kind of anticipate those things. But there's just something you can't anticipate, which is like being concussed. You can have a checklist, but if you're concussed, now we're talking about a physical attribute that is not opinion-based. It's a very physical injection of something.

It's something being inserted that's physical that you can't manipulate or power through sometimes. When you realize that in a moment of being concussed, you know, half your force has been cut down and with one explosion, uh, you feel this real sense of vulnerability. Um, And yeah, other than just like, hopefully the movie described it.
