00:00Can I just start by asking you a very basic question? I mean, what your observations are about how that operation was carried out in the early hours of Sunday morning?
00:08Absolutely, Tom. Thank you for having me. A near flawless operation and just an incredible demonstration of American military power and resolve. These aircraft took off from the middle of the heartland, flew 36 hours-ish round trip, delivering ordnance on time, on target, and returning safely.
00:32And the number one mission objective on our end is always 10 fingers and 10 toes. Everybody came home safely, no injuries or reported issues on our end. And to be honest with you, it sounds like on the Iranian end, they claim that there wasn't anybody there or taken out.
00:51So in a military operation such as this, if both sides technically can suffer no losses, but the strategic objectives be met, that's a pretty successful mission in my book.
