And I think you have to think about, sorry, I'll just say this real quick. We have to assume, I think another thing is strategic surprise. If you look at, if you just study these groups, they are very good at not just tactical surprise, but strategic surprise, where they surprise the nation. They surprise the larger body at scale.

And when that happens, what follows is a level of institutional paralysis, right? Everything's locked. Everything's paralyzed. And so when that happens, you've got these groups that are capable of what my buddy Dave at the agency calls not terrorism, but horrorism.

You know, so you're not a strategic surprise, strategic paralysis, hold ground, mass casualties, that kind of event. We've just never dealt with that here, you know, and and I think we're due.

And he said, you know, that attack happened, explosion, F-16s flying supersonic just above the treetops. And right over here, the McDonald's was still open.
