I, uh, 100% want to echo that because I think that it's, it's significant that our most senior Marine says, "These are books that will enhance not just your profession but your life as a Marine."

And for our senior leaders to Like you said, sort of step outside of, "Oh, hey, you know, you gotta, you know, just read Mc- all the MCDPs and Message to Garcia, and then, um, you know, something by Victor Krulak, and then you're good to go."
