1. I'm way past the point of worrying about being on watch lists.

2. There are some of us out here who will never forget what folks like you and Edd (Too Tall) Freeman did for us when the chips were well and truly down!

Mate needs pick up - you make the pick up. Nothing more complex than that, as you well know brother of mine.  :laugh:

They are way too valuable to be squandered, considering only about 1 in 100 applicants are suitable for the task.


...which made the horrific helicopter crash in Afghanistan or Pakistan killing multiple members of SEAL TEAM 6 (who were involved in the supposed hit on OBL) even more hideous.


You do know they lost a copter full of men on this mission, too.  In all 17 men died.

The whole operation was a cluster ----! Not the fault of the men on the ground or the QRF but further up the chain! There is a reason why those Chinooks aren't supposed to go in unprotected during daylight!

Exactly... They spend all the time and money to train our Seals to be best of best and up the line is the worst of the worst...because they're running all these wars out of DC.

And the people in DC have no clue, or don't give a sh*t about,  conditions on the ground in the ops area that can and will have an effect on the mission! There is NO reason on earth that they should not have had an aircraft up there to relay comms 24/7 during this operation!

IIRC they actually turned support aircraft around saying it was needed elsewhere... No excuses not having enough support aircraft in country.
