Wow. Impressive and gutsy. :yep: Sounds quite similar to what the Brits did in Afghanistan except sadly that particular mission was to retrieve a KIA. I remember it was discussed here a while back.

Yes as per my earlier post. We did discuss it here a while back.

But I think the Americans also did it in Afghanistan. I remember wathing a Doc about it on the Military Channel.
