Every time I go and it seems like and some more so.

Hopefully that was going to be the last one but we'll we'll see what have.

And while you look great I just talked to a springing up to date is trying -- your opinion what's happening which you know would.

People like to say Afghanistan well that's a good war.

This Iraq that's a that's a war we do need.

You have a different view.

Why not I don't think any war is a good war in and we were talking about this the other day is to say you know he sees activists -- everybody out there seeing them bring the troops home -- you know we wanna come -- -- -- badly wants to come home but you know I've that if that.

The United States they send us -- in the battle then and that's we need to do we go -- only until we get it done.

And a now what's got everybody to understand that said just kind of going to -- it behind us and now allow us do our job and get us back at Afghanistan aren't there are two different wars.

Two different scenarios altogether so it's kind of hard to.

Meant to categorize and and one -- nine.

In your book you -- -- the grateful this is some of the people you came across his who just were happy to which you've done.

Protecting us you know and just look at her eyes and watching her say that it was just -- is justified -- reason why I was over there -- United States is known for going out.
