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.

No disrespect intended, it just depends on the politic in charge.

Wrong, As dangerous as a Specops mission is, they are well
thought out and executed and normally are highly successful.

SF is rarely a bunch of hotdogs. They know their job and do it
probably beyond human capability but chance takers they aren't.
When it appears that it's impossible means they failed somewhere
along the way and their people die in the process. When it looks
almost supernatural in the success, it's from superior planning
and execution of the mission. Almost all missions have been
successful.

You just contradicted yourself.

Well thought out and risky = difficult.

You mean like on TV? Of course not. Then again, Jeb Corliss
doesn't use a stuntman or props.

They know their job and do it probably beyond human capability


Are you in a movie?

but chance takers they aren't.


You are playing semantics. I'm not interested in playing semantics.

Exactly what are your Military Credentials? Most of us in here
have them or have been connected to the Military in some way in
the past who generally comment on the procedures. What are your
creds?

Mine is 20 years in USAF and I have worked along with SFs in my
time and can tell you that they are not risk takers. They just
know their jobs so well that it may appear that way to someone
less informed.

Given your lack of honesty in my usual respect for the military
and veterans, that claim is depressing.

Ever hear of a "calculated risk"?

You just want to do a semantical circle jerk, as evidenced by your
contradictory and fanciful statements. I'd rather stick to the
subject.

Mine are dead on and someone like you with Zero experience around
these folks will never understand. So be it.

Then you should go away instead of coming here if your objective is to
challenge people if you don't get satisfaction to your question.
Likewise if you don't like the answer to your question don't ask it.

I didn't ask the original question. And as for going away, are
you going to grab my left wrist that I am typing with and wrench
it to force me to go away?

Sorry Daryl I didn't mean you I meant the original poster. He came
onto a usernet hiding behind a false name and a keyboard asked a
controversial question with the intent of starting **** and and
succeeded well. Lookit he sucked in at least 70 responses. He's
smiling thinking what a bunch of looser gliderpilots.
