let me say this dave you have a platoon in your platoon there’s a two different let’s call them clicks and they have two different ideas of what you should be focused on and how you should operate and what you do is you sort of negotiate a piece between these two clicks and you sort of compromise and you figure out hey like we’ll do a little bit of this click a little bit of that click and you kind of you kind of bring these forces to a compromise you get them working together you get them to like take these things that they could be arguing about you you give one here and give the other side one here and so you end up with a team that although they’re not perfectly in sync they’re at least sort of working together my platoon i have two clicks and what i do is i get mad at them because they don’t get along and then i agree with one of the clicks actually a little bit more and so i give them favoritism and now we end up with this you know head butting who who’s got a better platoon right so if you think about this in a large strategic view and you look at a place called the united states of america right now and you look at how miraculously or strangely we’ve become super divisive about all kinds of things to the point where we are banging against each other’s heads and we don’t get along and we’ve got people that sit so far apart in their beliefs not only do they sit so far apart in their beliefs they can’t find common ground on anything on anything and we’ve got known known actors in the world [Music] that make moves to increase the division between the sides of people that we have in america and the people in america don’t even recognize that all of this fighting is making our platoon weak it’s very interesting isn’t it it’s very interesting that we know that there are actors that are cr there are state actors that are creating divisiveness in our own country and yet instead of saying hey you know what actually we shouldn’t argue about that stuff hey you know what dave you got your opinion on that i got my opinion but you know what there’s a bunch of stuff we agree on let’s focus on that okay you know what that makes sense we can go execute the mission now instead no you know what dave you don’t agree with me on this we’ll screw you i don’t even want to work with you now we can’t operate we can’t get anything done so obvious yeah it’s so obvious it’s hard to look at too because not only are you going to disagree with me you can actively actively sabotage my efforts 100 and and the hardest part about that is that the reality is we are on the same team those two those two platoons in your task unit they’re on the same team they’re very disturbing i’ve been trying i’ve got to think a way to articulate that a little bit more clearly and and present it in a way that people can see it but it’s very difficult because when you present it if i present it to the platoon and say hey guys i think it looks like we’re we’re actually looks like we’re actually not uh helping here we’re not moving this thing forward you know what one side says oh so you’re trying to take their side are you yeah that’s exactly what happens that’s and that’s the point i was thinking when you said that when you you know you you were sort of over like i show a little bias towards this one team which is all the other side needs to go oh i see what side you’re on oh yeah i see what you’re i don’t trust you’re one of them yeah i see what you’re getting at so i’ve got to think of a way to articulate this properly to people because right now but we don’t understand it as americans we are in this sort of trap where there’s a total lack of coordination between the different sides yeah our government can’t even get anything done they’re they’re they’re they’re losers they’re just not not making any progress and all they’re doing is fighting with each other and not realizing that while we’re fighting each other number one there’s other state actors that are that are feeding this fight and while they’re while they’re feeding our fight and we’re having these in fights guess what these other state actors are doing growing their economy unifying their people [Music] growing their military strength growing the will of their people and we are being divided i’ll think of a way to try and communicate this so people will hopefully start to understand it i haven’t done a good job thus far
