So a couple of last questions, more rapid fire for you.

Number one, I've always kind of joked around, like, I mean, if everyone in the population had to do a couple of years in the military, the population would be better or, you know, like more, more capable and more disciplined.

And, and obviously a lot of people would go back to their old ways, but do you think like within a couple of years, it does really teach some great core values for life?

Yeah, I'm not thinking more realistically, but I think it would be fascinating and I think it would wake a lot of people up, you know?

And, you know, when I go through hard times or I push people, I always quote, you know, I grew up and my parents would tell me my grandma made hand grenades during the war and my granddad was serving and fighting and they were living on bread, you know, and

I think now a lot of people are too afraid to put in the work, like I said earlier, and that's kind of where this whole idea came from.

But yes, the second question, what was it like getting the phone call to become the Secretary of Defense?

So you get the call, you walk away, tell the family, hey, I got a job.

Life changed.

But some cool moments, I'm sure, too.

Oh, yeah.

Good.

Next question.

So if you could instill one core value or trait into someone young, hungry, that's getting into business in the world and wants to be successful, if you could only pick one or two, what would it be?

I like that.

Yeah.

I think discipline can bring any, almost any goal to life.

If you, if you.

Right.

Yeah, you need the right plan.
