In the movie, they're showing me like killing half a Mogadishu from the cockpit.

Never fired a round from the cockpit.

I mean, I fired plenty of rounds from the ground, but not from the cockpit.

At least I hadn't seen him.

How long afterwards?

I mean, almost immediately.

Seconds.

Yeah.

And Gary goes down.

He saw it.

No, I heard it.

For whatever, you know, what is it that you remember about people?

You know, do people remember how you look, how you talk, how you posture yourself?

I can't explain it, but I remembered his voice because when he had flown on my bird, you know, we did a pre-brief and he asked some questions or whatever, and I just remembered his voice.

To me, there was something unique about it.

And I heard him say, you know, damn, I'm hit or something like that.

It wasn't anything desperate.

It wasn't, you know...

I just thought he just took a round, honestly.

As I understand it, if it wasn't that round, it was a round soon after that just hit a gap in the body armor and became a mortal wound.
