And?

The seals have been writing books. Why can't a ranger cash in?


Reality, I've been told by more than one person during a conversation, "can't talk about that, it's classified". On seemingly innocuous conversations about the projects being worked on. Everyday things for us during the project as civilians, but a simple briefing on "you can't talk about this" isn't hard to understand. Any sort of patriotism makes you feel like you'd be betraying everyone you walked past everyday if you blast that info in a public setting.

Fuck... I think it may be him...

Let me text my buddy and see if Murphy was a VC (not "TC"). (Waiting for a reply)

I'll wait until he gets back to me before I say any more. But this guy already checks four of five boxes...
