So the SAS Lee for the last month, so the only people, SF dudes in... Two Commando.
It's Two Commando.
Welcome to tier one, boys.
Welcome to A grade.
So we got the... For the last month, we got the remit where we could target.
We had all their assets.
We had all their ability to target and do the kill capture missions that, you know, is obviously a hot topic in the media right now.
So...
The difference between that, we're not going after ICOM radios anymore.
We're going after commanders, right?
So this is how I would explain it is that Maddy, yourself, all the grunts that have served are over in Afghanistan and you may be, in general, doing a cordon for the engineers building a school, right, for women or a mosque.
The grunts are there doing patrols and cordons around that area so that they don't get shot at while they're building a school.
Yep.
And then two commando is one valley over...
going to kill the low-level fighters that are going to come in and start shooting at you in your cordon and planning IEDs.
Then the SAS are the next valley over, killing the commander who's giving them the weapon parts, who's giving them the ammunition and funding to go and conduct these activities.
So that's, in general, how I feel that the role of the Special Forces is purely to support... The infantry operation.
It is, yeah.
So...
We're going out now and we know the commander's pulling... We're about to leave Afghanistan, but we know the commander's pulling the strings on the suicide attacks that are happening at the TK roundabout while we're there, right?
