Mainly curious about how difficult that was.
Thanks.


Nearly died a month or so ago, Jan 16th...

This is about the trip to the hospital.

The fact that he didn't die and that he was able to deploy his
shoot is incredible IMO. If he were clowning around, I might agree
with the prior "unnecessary risks" comment. But he knows what the
risks are. Our special forces take risks like that, perhaps for a
better purpose but not as much fun.
