I'm like, okay.

The little birds don't have the fuel storage and ability to get across where they needed to go.

So they had to bring in other aircraft.

And you don't want to leave that stuff.

Right.

So you got to detonate it.

Yeah, they bip it or blow it in place.

How many –

aircrafts did they lose so what has been i think disclosed was the four mh-6s which are the little birds that carry the people the two aircraft that brought those in i think there was some version of a c-130 um and i think that was it as far as that operation there might have been a predator or a reaper drone that was shot down i think some a-10s were damaged and then of course the f-15 that was ejected from wow

It's a lot.

It's a lot of stuff.

It is a lot of stuff.

But the military asks people to do exceptional things.

And it helps you if you know that they are going to send everything that they have to come and get you if something goes wrong.

it has to mean something to be issued a flag on your chest, in my opinion, at least.

And as far as those operations go, there's basically two where you are going to absorb as the people responding an immense amount of risk.

One of them is going to be a hostage rescue, which I was a part of.

We talked about that on a previous episode, the Jessica Lynch rescue.

The number of people we thought we might encounter was a way bigger number than the number of people that we could get there in the helicopters.

But you go anyway because of the chance of rescuing somebody.
