Yeah.
So you should probably know shit like that.
You see some cool shit.
Then that's when you realize, okay, the tactics aren't working.
I remember a mission one time.
Here's how outside the box.
It got turned down, but I think it made sense.
In some of these valleys, they don't know what time is.
Really?
No.
They know the sun comes up, the sun comes down.
They know how many brothers they have.
They know what the names of their four brothers are, but they don't know what the number four means.
Like, weird, bizarre.
The first time before I went over, I asked a guy who'd been to Afghanistan, what's it like?
And he said, you won't believe me, so you have to go see it.
So there was a village in one of these valleys that believed the sun came up every day because of a dragon, an angry dragon that spits a gem, and the sun comes up, and he puts it out at night.
When it's thunder, obviously the dragon's just angry, and the only way you can kill the dragon is with a German-made B-52, which isn't a thing, but this is what they said because somewhere the word got into the valley.
That's it.
And they know this.
