0:00.0	I guess I find in life that I've endeavored to do really hard things.
0:02.8	So started Blackwater immediately after getting out of the Navy.
0:05.3	We were providing security personnel for the State Department.
0:08.1	And in that case, a week before, it started with one of our helicopters being shot down,
0:12.1	and then two other attacks with explosives against our vehicles.
0:15.3	Of course, they've gotten a briefing that morning to be on the lookout for a white Kia,
0:19.8	which is likely a car bomb. And I get a
