Well, you can't just say, oh, forget about, excuse me. I wiped out their military. I don't dispute that. For those people that say, oh, maybe I wasn't tough enough. I've wiped out. I took out their biggest bridge because they showed up late at a meeting. They said that wasn't very nice. You know that bridge that said George Washington Bridge? I wiped it out in three minutes. I took out Carg Island. Everything except one thing. (13:49–13:54)
