Default Shocking Quality of Saudi "Special Forces"

That helicopter egress was a pathetic joke. Pathetic! I'd be amazed
if any hostages survive.

I agree!

Sit on your butt in the door, then jump down on the building's roof. A wind
gust and you are dropping twenty feet instead of two. Guess they were never
trained to rappel.

I always get confused which camels have one versus two humps -- I think
it's Bactrian vs. dromedary. But your suggestion has given me this
image I can't get out of my head: a hybrid helicopter-camel,
Chinook-style with a rotor on each hump.
