And I’m actually in an effort to support some of them. So I understand it. It’s a duality of it all, which is kind of the duality of war in general. We never want to be at war, but we understand the warrior class in this country is strong, brave, courageous, and will go and defend those that can’t defend themselves. And I believe that’s what this Marine was doing. There are no former Marines, only Marines that were formerly on active duty.
