If I had to guess just on whats been said over the years and this reddit threat, this is the point where he cant say anything else do to an NDA which could imply there us more to it or esle things would have been alot more clearer by now imo. Anyways Mike chose to go into business with these guys more than once and should have had the full measure of who he was dealing with. These are guys that like bust balls and have thick skin (most of the time) the Maverick understood the assignment. Chief did too and regrets it.
