Introduction
Jocko Willink reads from a book called Assignment Jaffna which is about the war, the long civil war in Sri Lanka. It's written by a lieutenant general Sardish Pandey who was a commander there on the ground. The new battalion got into the rut and carried on without once asking why this action was necessary. And I think this is very important for everybody to remember that when you get tasked with something you need to ask why you're doing it. Don't just carry on because it's the way it's always been done. Ask that question why.
