Yeah, Megan, it's crazy. My initial reaction was Senator Blumenthal, who I can't believe shows his face in that committee because he lied about Vietnam the entire time.

There's a huge difference between fighting in Vietnam with real Marines and misspeaking and lying. So he's up there doing that. I love how high and mighty they all get. They're not mentioning – Senator Ben Cardin had a staffer who had gay sex in the Judiciary Committee room, filmed it, no big deal. And then even as far as – I love how Senator Mullen –

from Oklahoma said, you know, they come in drunk. I've seen you come in drunk. It's almost like there's some Senate, like the Democrats are playing their, the cards they play and their, you know, their, their sentences that they don't, their questions they don't want answered.

Go ahead, Rob. Well, I think that the rules of engagement have a tendency to get way too strict, especially the longer we make a war last. And, you know, the Geneva Convention was one thing, but things change.
