Ron White

And so that name has an attachment to me now.

I think there was one other time that really all this led up to me wanting to memorize the names.

I had teeth problems.

I still have teeth problems, but I had a tooth problem when I was in the base.

And...

It's a question.

Do you want to go tell your chief that you have to go to the dentist when you know that's going to require other men getting in a convoy, doing a completely unnecessary convoy because your teeth is bad?

Their lives are at risk, so you can go to the dentist.

So I kept prolonging it as long as I could.

Maybe I can just get to this deployment without...

having these guys go off base, right?

Finally, I've decided I had to get my teeth fixed.

And I went in to the room, the intelligence center, and I sat down, it was 10 o'clock at night, and it was full of people, full of people.

And I sat down and I said, what's going on?

I mean, high ranking, high ranking guys.

So what's going on?

And they said, somebody's about to get schwacked.

And we had these monitors on the screens.

The whole room was just TV monitors.

It was like the TV show 24, just a lot less fancy, right?
