35. YES SIR
The military intelligence briefing draws to an end…
– Are there any questions?
– Sir, what’s the plan for getting us out
Once our mission is completed?
– You shouldn’t be worried about going home
– Sir, I didn’t ask when we are going home
– You shouldn’t be worried about going home
You should be worried about completing the mission
– Sir, since we are supposed to end up
More than 200 miles deep into Iraq
At the completion of our mission
I thought it would be good for us to know
That there’s a plan for getting us out of there
Once it’s over
– Look, I’m not going to get in a pissing contest
With you
…I just stared into his eyes and kept my mouth shut
Just like when I was in sixth grade
