Quick reminder from our audience. Elliot, what's a green on blue? Green on blue are these attacks, where an Afghan soldier would shoot and sometimes kill an American soldier. Right. And is it possible-- and we don't know, Elliot. I'm not asking you to read anyone's mind-- that life in America would be dislodging sufficiently so to bring back trauma from Afghanistan and create a mixture of emotions and rage that we haven't quite figured out? You know, I can't get into the mind of this shooter. And I don't really want to. And I'm sure some of the motive will come out in the days and the weeks ahead. But violence has a very long tail, whether you're Afghan or whether you're American. I'm an American veteran. I can tell you, members of the veterans' community have struggled to reintegrate into life at home, and when they act out, we don't demonize the entire veterans' community. And we shouldn't make that mistake in the case of Afghans that are coming here to start their lives, some of whom are trying to get green cards and some of whom too now, who I fought alongside, are now American citizens. So I think it would be a very big mistake for us to categorically demonize this group of people.
