00:04.040 --> 00:06.151
I'm sergeant Joshua , paul Boger from

00:06.151 --> 00:08.040
Houston texas here on fob Salerno

00:08.040 --> 00:10.262
Afghanistan from Alpha Battery 16 Field

00:10.262 --> 00:12.207
artillery brigade , First Infantry

00:12.207 --> 00:14.790
Division . All right . So , I'm going

00:14.790 --> 00:16.957
to talk a little about your experience

00:16.957 --> 00:19.179
that you have to remember junior , like

00:19.179 --> 00:18.820
everyone else has . What did you take

00:18.830 --> 00:21.052
from it that others haven't mentioned ?

00:21.052 --> 00:23.219
Well , first it was just great knowing

00:23.219 --> 00:25.497
that somebody of that caliber and that ,

00:25.497 --> 00:27.719
you know , with all that fame will take

00:27.719 --> 00:29.941
the time out of their data , you know ,

00:29.941 --> 00:29.930
for for just normal joes like us just

00:29.930 --> 00:32.041
to put a smile on our face from being

00:32.041 --> 00:34.152
over here . It was one of the coolest

00:34.152 --> 00:35.874
experiences I've ever actually

00:35.874 --> 00:37.986
personally dealt with getting to know

00:37.986 --> 00:40.319
somebody like that on that level on him .

00:40.319 --> 00:39.400
Just taking the time to answer

00:39.400 --> 00:42.630
questions was it was amazing . That's

00:42.640 --> 00:44.820
most impressive during that session

00:44.820 --> 00:46.987
that you had with him uh that you take

00:46.987 --> 00:50.120
your five members ? Uh the best part of

00:50.120 --> 00:52.342
it was when I actually got to ask him ,

00:52.342 --> 00:54.064
you know , my questions that I

00:54.064 --> 00:56.287
personally asked him and uh and the way

00:56.287 --> 00:58.453
he answered him , he was he was true ,

00:58.453 --> 01:00.509
He was real . He didn't try to , you

01:00.509 --> 01:02.740
know , make something out of nothing .

01:02.740 --> 01:05.230
He got to the point and told us exactly

01:05.230 --> 01:07.397
why he's champing why he's still gonna

01:07.397 --> 01:09.619
be champ after the victor Ortiz fight .

01:09.619 --> 01:11.563
Yeah . Do you think that lend this

01:11.563 --> 01:14.340
celebrity like that was just as stunt

01:14.340 --> 01:16.284
within itself ? Or do you think he

01:16.284 --> 01:18.396
actually supported the trips and what

01:18.396 --> 01:20.396
to do it for the kind of bashar , I

01:20.396 --> 01:22.229
believe that that champ actually

01:22.440 --> 01:24.607
supports his troops . wholeheartedly .

01:24.607 --> 01:26.773
He mentioned that he always has troops

01:26.773 --> 01:28.829
had his boxing matches and I've seen

01:28.829 --> 01:31.690
him on tape . They it would be nice to

01:31.690 --> 01:33.746
be there at one of them eventually ,

01:33.746 --> 01:35.912
but I think it came from the bottom of

01:35.912 --> 01:38.160
his heart . It actually you could tell

01:38.170 --> 01:40.337
it was all it was all from inside . It

01:40.337 --> 01:43.500
was it was not a show , it was true

01:55.540 --> 01:58.650
bad rap saying that You know , he plays

01:58.710 --> 02:01.610
he wears a black hat of the two uh you

02:01.610 --> 02:03.610
obviously think different from what

02:03.610 --> 02:05.890
you've got to happen . Well first I

02:05.890 --> 02:07.890
want to say this is my third combat

02:07.890 --> 02:10.670
tour since 2006 and uh you know , being

02:10.670 --> 02:12.726
away from family is really difficult

02:12.726 --> 02:15.640
thing for that long . It gets easier as

02:15.650 --> 02:17.928
you know , the more you come over here ,

02:17.928 --> 02:20.150
it gets easier . Uh but it's it's never

02:20.150 --> 02:23.090
too easy . Um and with Floyd taking

02:23.090 --> 02:25.300
time out of his day to do that , it's

02:25.300 --> 02:27.522
pretty good feeling . It makes you feel

02:27.522 --> 02:29.633
good . And what I would say to people

02:29.633 --> 02:31.744
that uh like Floyd critics , it seems

02:31.744 --> 02:33.967
like it seems like the people out there

02:33.967 --> 02:35.967
that that don't like them , they're

02:35.967 --> 02:38.189
they're out to see him lose and they're

02:38.189 --> 02:40.300
mad that he has all this money from ,

02:40.300 --> 02:39.980
you know how hard he's worked and and

02:39.980 --> 02:42.091
he came from just like me and you did

02:42.091 --> 02:44.140
he had a hard life coming up and he

02:44.140 --> 02:46.830
deserves every bit of it . He you know

02:46.830 --> 02:49.100
the people that talk trash about them

02:49.100 --> 02:51.156
or they just want to see them lose .

02:51.156 --> 02:53.322
They don't even they don't care . They

02:53.322 --> 02:55.211
just wanna see the streak end and

02:55.211 --> 02:57.267
that's that's not gonna happen . All

02:57.267 --> 02:57.860
right . Thanks very much .
