Full Episode
Osama bin Laden has just been killed. And he turns to me and he says, I'm not going to let you guys leave. I call the U.S. Embassy and I tell them, hey, there are two expats. We've been taken hostage. They're like, sorry, there's nothing we can do. And all of a sudden, that's when we start working on our escape plan. I always kind of had this idea that...
I wanted this job and I always saw it in my head where it's like you get this phone call and you get a suitcase and you're going to go somewhere or something.
Like James Bond or something. Something super secretive.
Yeah, something kind of cool like that.
And I'm a huge fan of James Bond. I love the whole, they walk in the, they push the button or they get the phone call. They walk over to the room, they open the special cabinet and they've got their guns and they grab their stuff and their gear and they walk out, they get in a car and they helicopter lands and takes them off. Like how fucking cool is that?
Yeah, I mean, that's a little bit what it ends up turning into, except that there's no helicopters. But you do get a phone call and you get... That's Hollywood. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You do get a phone call, you get plane tickets, you grab your bags, and next thing you know, you're on a flight to Jordan or Dubai or wherever it may be, and... I love that lifestyle.
What exactly do the military contractors do?
Every single job that the military has, that's what contractors do. It's everything from cooks to HVAC to security around the base. Contractors have been doing this job since the American Revolution, basically. And people think that they're evil. They're all mercenaries. And that's not true. And to apply the word mercenary to it is a, is really a disservice. Absolutely. A hundred percent.
So you got, you got people that are like literally carpenters and stuff like that going over that. They do the mail. They do every single job and they do it far more efficiently than the military can do it. So like, One contractor can probably do the job of 10 service members, right?
