Surreal.

Or like you're in the opera house assaulting the opera house but we've come in through a hidden underground tunnel and

And there's people outside an opera bar on a Friday night just doing business drinks, ramping and having fun.

They don't know that inside the opera house right now there's a full-blown shootout with fucking paint rounds and breaching charges and little things going on.

And Scott Wright has posted stuff like that, like pictures.

Like that's happening.

You think they closed down the opera bar?

No.

Like we're in and amongst the society doing these things and no one even knows.

Yeah.

constantly training, constantly fine tuning those martial skill sets that commandos have to make sure that if, if the balloon goes up and people need rescuing that those boys are going to be slick when they do it.

And I think they would be slick when they do it because they're fucking good at it.

Yeah.

Yeah, so the other commando companies that had gone over, you know, like Delta Company, Bravo Company, Alpha Company, that did their rotations really fucking built that relationship with the ground level at Baghdad training the dudes to then when they went out to Ramadi.

Yeah.

Fallujah and they started moving up the the ERV the Euphrates River Valley back north exactly they're pushing them the fuck out and we were supporting them um with intelligence JTACs and advisory um to to kill and clear those cunts and it was massive and although we're using like American assets like to drop bombs because um there wasn't many Australian assets on on station at that time the when I got there for my second deployment the Iraqi partner force were like

you guys saved our ass in Ramadi.

Like you Aussies are fucking sick cunts.

And it was all the hard work that the commandos had put in.

And, you know, the SAS, there was one or two Saskats there helping out and advising, but not in the early days.
