John, before we go here, just two more quick hits.

I don't want to talk to you about.

We mentioned the US getting out of Afghanistan and the $3 trillion whole that's money that's

not being spent anymore.

But you mentioned that we just passed the year anniversary of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan

to mostly crickets from all sectors.

That's been extraordinary.

Yes, yeah, one of those dog that didn't bark stories.

There was, I remember all this very strange, kerfuffle after Biden because we attributed

to Biden with Drew a year ago.

And it was strange because nobody said, off, we'd stuck around a little longer, we could

have won.

Well, I mean, a few people said that, but even their own fans said, yeah, maybe not.

Because there was never any way the US was going to win.

They'd been there for 20 years and they were further from winning than ever.

And nobody quite knew what they were there for anyway.

So there was no real hope for the war in Afghanistan.

Nobody wanted to argue that it was a good idea.

It was strange to watch.

What they did want to argue is how terrible it was when we left.

And that was a strange argument because it's like, well, yeah, maybe we shouldn't have

gone in there.
