I mean, this is not an easy task.

These people fight back, and we are going to lose people.

And if... And I'm not...

saying it's okay to have 18, and if you count Matt, 19 casualties.

But if you just compare the numbers, 500, 700 to 18, that's not a loss.

I mean, we captured the two guys we were after.

They were turned over to the UN.

We took fucking losses.

I mean...

More than we wanted to.

And I know it's tough on the families, and I know it's tough on everybody in the unit that was friends with these people, but we didn't lose that fight.

We kicked the shit out of those guys.

Our little birds alone, well, miniguns too, because they got the same guns, fired 175,000 rounds of ammunition.

That's how much shooting went on that night.

Now, again, I wasn't there counting the ammo.

That's what I'm told.

So if that's not right, I need some slack there because that's what I was told.

175,000 rounds, all right?

One guy who I think is going to get inducted in the Aviation Hall of Fame this go-around, little bird guy, awesome warrior.

He had blood on his windshield.
