So much different situation compared to somebody that, you know may be deployed. If in fact we ever got to the point where The President made a decision to put troops on the ground, which, you know, he said numerous times now, at this point he does not expect this to go in that direction. but certainly would never rule it out as well. Would you support that at this point, given where we are at this moment, U.S. troops on the ground? (02:51–03:02)
