And I'm not saying we can't, I'm not saying we won't, but it is a completely different scenario this time because we wholesale abandoned a partner force that has, to this day, three years later, is still being hunted.

And to think that we could just walk back into that country and say, hey, we're back, how you like me so far?

It's not going to go down that way.

Yeah, and they're...

10X bigger, you know, probably close to 80,000 fighters.

I think they had something like a couple thousand before 9-11.

I'll have to check those numbers.

And don't forget, too, they just had a couple of operating bases in Afghanistan at that time.

You had Tarnak Farms, you know, which is near Kandahar Airfield and a few others.

But you've got every NATO base that we built over there.

Camp Brown, you've got Bagram, you've got Bastian.

All of the infrastructure, all of that was just left behind.

So they've rolled right in on these bases with well-designed training areas and ranges.

And they are training at a level that's unprecedented.

And you think about that, the advent of technology that is accessible to them now.

Think about the proliferation of drone technology that we're seeing coming off the battlefield in Ukraine.

I mean, how fast has that advanced?

And we already see that the attack in Russia at the theater, October 7 by Hamas in Israel, these are all local distributed attacks of horrorism.

You know, horrific attacks, not World Trade Center type things, but where we live, work, and play.

Right?
