4 I suspect it's the Helo pilot that took like 2-3 hits and kept flying while wounded. Not going to mock that.

6 To what mt friend Skid said, and Skid has experience working with these guys. When the teams go in things are executed to +-30 seconds. It is always on the edge of a bad day. Its what they do. But to skids point, when it does go wrong, it goes really bad, Mogadishu bad. They have second and third order crap plans, but a hit as clean as this one was very well executed. Now at the team level I am certain, after the back slapping, the AAR for the mission was brutal and probably more emotional for the teams than the actual hit.

7 It would be nice if a Night Stalker was put up for it. A good day for the regiment...
