And we, you know, we gave away our youth and our life, not life, but our, you know, just everything about our life to fight this. A lot of people did. But, you know, the larger point here is that the people that have been on the phone working this side of it that have that divergent point of view, they're the ones that fought this war.

They're the ones that know this enemy better than anybody, and they know what's at stake, and they know what's coming. That's the part that just baffles me, is it would be one thing if this were all just a bunch of volunteers who jumped into the fray because they're looking for something to do. But these are people who honestly... really want to put this behind them.

They've moved on with their lives. I know I feel that way, but they're doing this out of a duty to warn because we've dealt with this enemy for a lot of years. We know what they're capable of. We know they followed us home and we feel a duty to warn, but it is a divergent point of view, unfortunately, that we have

about what the Taliban are about, Al Qaeda, than the current institutional point of view. And we're hoping that we can bring those together and figure this out, kind of a private public gathering of comparing notes over the last four years and start to sort this out. Sir, do you have any updates?

Yeah, I think the thing that has to be walked back to, and this is the part that really is contentious, and I think we got to do something, is that there is such a difference between what the government says the terror problem looks like

and what frankly members of the global war on terror community say it looks like after having been on the phone for four years with these individuals but what i will tell you is like for example and my only thing that i would just add to what they've said on the intel front is you know i've had i have the opportunity to run the seams with these different you know on signal and these different groups and and just listen you know and that's what i try to do i try to just listen i'm not an intel analyst i'm not a targeter but i am pretty good at relationships and just listening and what i am hearing consistently across multiple

groups is a thousand i'm hearing the number a thousand a lot and it's and it's coming up in different i mean radically different uh uh verticals that there's no there's no way you know and so that really that that really concerns me a lot that that number um is is popping up you know all of the time, you know, conversationally.

And then the other thing that really bothers me is that no one is engaging any elements at all of the resistance just on the intel side. I mean, when they've made clear and overt offerings to help with that and to just, to give a competing perspective, zero. And so that, to corroborate what Sarah's saying in that front, at least, there is no competing threat picture.
