Country:  | Having seen firsthand what SEALs can do, and having a SEAL team save my (and a few other's) butt in a place I can't name, I know who the F I would call if the fit hit the shan. And I worked with a number of different SpecOps units.

Country: | My first Co was SF and a marathon runner. On his first assignment after getting his SF tab, there were Seals doing PT. Being a cocky young man, he inviated himself to PT thinking that the Seals were all hype. He said it was the hardest workout that he never finished an he never made it to the run.

Country: | I have zero experience in the military (my mistake), but from what I know about Spec Ops units, the SEALs are among the best, if not THE best; anybody who can fight on the Sea, Air and Land has GOTTA be good (of course, it doesn't hurt that I just finished reading Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10).

| I respect the heck out of the SEALs, but no'more than I respect the SAS, Danish Jägerkorps & KSK-9.

Country: | Because Les has been remiss in keeping his sticky current.
You gotta admit... this is one fast M'effer. Just not fast enough.

Country: | Versus what? Operating a UAV or helicopter for a few more hours or days until a ground squad was in place to finish him with a 20 cent bullet?

Her good friend CMS Kinner was a 'survivor' on the first AC 130 that tested the 105 mount - as I recall the story it took 8900 feet to recover from a roll/spin from 9000 AGL. | |

Country: | That story I would like to hear, drgondog. Know where we can find it?
Oh, and Les, don't kill me. I know I committed a cardinal sin. Just didn't want the sticky to die.

I don't think this story has been published (105 test right?)
