…in ways you cannot yet realize

Leo: The guy’s been blown out of the sky! He could be seriously injured. For sure he’s in an Iraqi desert with no water. He’s got to keep radio silence because we’re not the only ones looking for him, and if they get to him first, and all he gives them is his name, rank, and serial number, they’re going to beat him, Josh. They’re going to torture him. This is to say nothing of 80 guys in a helicopter who are going to get shot at if they’re picked up underneath the radar.
Josh: You’re right.
Leo: I know the President’s been joking around all day. But he’s been living and dying every hour with this, and I know he’d be really offended if he knew that you were discussing a political upside. And I gotta tell you, Josh, as a guy who flew planes in the war, I was really offended, too.
Josh: Yes, sir.
Leo: Okay.
Josh: Okay. 
Leo: Now, you did good today. I’m just saying that there’s a way to be a person.
