Um... And I'm just trying my best to get a nine line going. Like, hey, we've got two that are done and one guy still alive, critical, right? So he's the priority. And the second bird gets the other two guys. Now, the incredible thing is we still got one guy fucked up with that thing lodged in his leg. And I'm like, we're so nervous. Like, if it moves... And he bleeds out of the artery, you know?

So trying to keep him stable. And then we got to wait for the birds, right? And we're taking fire. We're shooting. We got fucking RPGs people are seeing. And so there's a fight going on while we're doing this medevac. So these two Apaches come over. And I just remember thinking, fuck, I don't know if this is doable or anything. But I start calling them.

He's like, they're saying we can't. They're saying we can't do it. And I'm like, fuck. Okay. Okay. So a few more seconds goes by. He comes back on the horn, calls me. Hey, fuck it. We're going to do it. And I was like, okay. All right, let's do it. So we do it. The first attempt goes bad because somebody calls out an RPG, so they come down, RPG, and they peel off.

I think he just sat on the fucking wing. Whoa. Yeah, and so I wish I kept in touch with these guys. I didn't, if they're out there.
