00:00:00.000 Nobody got in trouble, right?
00:00:01.320 No, no, no, no, no.
00:00:02.140 And we're really good at – this isn't – okay, I don't want this to sound wrong.
00:00:06.880 We are really, really good at compartmentalizing what happens.
00:00:09.760 And I would even tell my – because you've got officers outside enlisted inside.
00:00:13.820 And I don't want to put you in a position where you report to your commanding officer. 1.00
00:00:17.780 I don't want you to be full of shit either. 0.99
00:00:19.220 You tell the truth, but we're going to tell you what the truth was. 0.99
00:00:23.260 And I'm serious. 0.99
00:00:26.140 Because I don't want that Monday morning shit coming around. 0.99
00:00:28.600 The best example of – 0.99
00:00:30.820 We're going to tell you what the truth was.
00:00:31.980 Yes, and it's going to sound exactly the way they're going to write the movie.
00:00:35.260 Like three shots on the Somali pirates, sure.
00:00:38.520 But one of the examples I have is Iraq.
00:00:42.400 One of the best summers of my life was 2007 in Iraq because I'm a young Navy SEAL, SEAL Team 6.
00:00:49.820 I'm here to hunt people, and I want to.
00:00:52.020 So it was – we were – I mean, we were – the gloves were taken off. 0.99
00:00:55.140 We're on kill missions to kill al-Qaeda because they're torturing the Sunnis. 1.00
00:00:57.960 Like they'll show up in town, so we're going to find them and kill them, and then the Sunnis start helping us. 1.00
00:01:01.640 But like we would do target, target. 0.99
00:01:03.240 If we only killed 11 guys in one night, we're like, why did we waste our night?
00:01:05.760 Like there's more out there. 0.97
00:01:07.280 But we would hit a target.
00:01:08.740 It's your target or not, but you find intelligence. 1.00
00:01:10.780 Oh, shit, the neighbor, he's got back. 1.00
00:01:12.020 So you run over there, hit the target, whatever. 1.00
00:01:13.940 And we were really good.
00:01:14.740 Like we're not killing everyone.
00:01:15.920 The more latitude – like when I bring up lawyers, the more latitude you give us, the better we're going to be.
00:01:22.160 We're going to play – I'm not going to hurt these people.
00:01:24.100 We're the good guys.
00:01:25.300 Like the two-year-old Sun, al-Qaeda wouldn't have done that for us. 0.66
00:01:27.620 But we're going to do this, whatever.
00:01:28.720 But it's so fast because we want to leave before the Sun comes up. 0.99
00:01:32.320 Our helicopter pilots can handle it, but I don't want to put them in danger, daytime shit. 0.99
00:01:35.780 So when we would wear our – there's like those quarterback things they wear, and we'd keep our masks and shit. 0.99
00:01:42.980 And one of my officers kind of came in. 0.96
00:01:45.660 So he's the commanding officer.
00:01:47.020 We're doing our thing, and I was like, hey, we found this here.
00:01:49.120 We're in building 211.
00:01:50.560 I want to hit building 370.
00:01:52.240 So we're going to go over there right now. 0.99
00:01:53.240 And I look at him and my boss, and I said, shit, sir, you know what? 0.99
00:01:57.000 You're in charge. 0.99
00:01:58.120 And he looked at me and said, oh, make no mistake.
00:02:00.600 I'm not in charge.
00:02:01.560 I'm responsible.
00:02:02.960 You're in charge. 1.00
00:02:03.760 Don't fuck me. 1.00
00:02:06.000 And then, you know, he's like, I got the macro. 1.00
00:02:08.260 You got the micro.
00:02:09.140 So we would do that.
00:02:10.360 And even when he –
00:02:10.960 But that's the truth.
00:02:11.720 Yes, because he could get – like if we did something maybe a general would be pissed about.
00:02:16.720 Right.
00:02:17.000 I don't want him to know that happened.
00:02:18.100 I will tell them it was very clean.
00:02:19.700 We went in.
00:02:20.200 Boom.
00:02:20.740 Bad guy. 0.75
00:02:21.220 Here's his gun.
00:02:21.640 There's a picture.
00:02:22.620 So is it kind of how your kids eventually get to a point where they sit down together and have a meeting and say, look, guys, we're going to have each other's back.
00:02:31.280 No one's going to snitch on anybody.
00:02:33.300 And if mom and dad ask what happened, we're all going to say the same thing.
00:02:36.740 We will solve it together here, but we're not going to tell them everything that happened.
00:02:40.920 Is it a little bit like that?
00:02:42.540 I think so.
00:02:43.900 And if my kids –
00:02:44.620 It depends on kids.
00:02:45.380 I'm just saying I know some kids, maybe four of them.
00:02:47.460 If they were doing it for the right reasons and didn't hurt anybody, I can appreciate their loyalty to each other.
00:02:53.560 Yeah.
00:02:54.500 If they hurt someone, I have a problem with that.
00:02:56.140 It's like – it's – you know, don't just lie to me because you're trying to get – I would rather have – deal with the consequences now because I screwed up and admit it.
00:03:04.640 Yeah.
00:03:04.960 Like some of the best bosses I've ever had because I – if anyone says they don't screw up every day, they're just lying.
00:03:10.360 I would screw up all the time.
00:03:11.820 And some of my best bosses would – I remember two in particular.
00:03:17.000 They wouldn't come up to fight because I'm ready.
00:03:18.560 I'll get defensive.
00:03:19.500 I'm going to defend my position or whatever.
00:03:21.500 They would just say, you're just so much better than that and leave.
00:03:24.920 It's like, oh, I'm never going to let you down.
00:03:28.180 I'm better than that. 1.00
00:03:29.380 Shit. 1.00
00:03:30.000 I was ready to fist fight. 1.00
00:03:31.400 Get my ass kicked too, but you expected more out of me. 0.99
