Photographers i guess 2007 i think and got the bug. And and got the bug not only because its thrilling to write a book rather than meet the deadline with a 600 word review but also because with each subject, you know, you you immerse yourself in a whole area. Thats new and you know, it feels like doing a history degree with each one and this war book. I ive always been fascinated by Second World War.

Last question. The three roles of u. S. Cybercom, one is specifically to look after the security of dod networks, the other two being to support commanders and the third which is in some ways the most difficult and challenging is to defend the nation and how that engages.

I think the market i think consumers working voluntarily without violence, without the threat of force, 300 million americans deciding how they want to approach things.
