It's not unique, and it's not a stupid thing to think.

It's a smart mistake.

There are stupid mistakes where you make it because you're stupid, and then there's what I call smart people mistakes.

So keep in mind, I'm educating people at the University of Chicago that have more than a triple-digit IQ.

I'm educating...

Not just people in the Air Force, but future three- and four-star generals in the Air Force.

These are not dumb people.

These are people who are at the top of their game.

They're coming in.

We're spending months really focusing on things.

So I have a very good understanding of where people start out, what their initial thoughts are.

And then I also spend a lot of time in the public.

I just went to Ron Paul, spoke to 200 of his people, and then spent all day there.

Do not do with a parachute in, parachute out, because I want to soak it up.

I want to see, this is me getting face to face.

I want to know where they're coming from so I can better understand.

And I'm telling you, you asked me, what is the number one misconception or mistake?

First thing to say is it's not a dumb person's mistake.

It's a smart person's mistake.

and it's that this punishment is actually going to work.
