If I meet those guys I'll get them some beers for a job well done, and for their integrity.

Echo all of the above. Anyone who comes up with something THAT crazy in a war setting needs a medal

(and a reminder not to try anything like that in civilian life

I sent the link to NBC. Have to see if it makes it.

"Task Force: Red Dog" did the same for a few CIA operatives ('Officially' they were not CIA

) on the Afghan-Pakistan border a few years ago. Brave bunch of guys.
