Bob,
I would be willing to bet there are far more wounded troops alive today because they were lifted out on our ships.
I just don't get where they come up with this "Greater Risk" missions that they were on. That was their job to go in and get those guys out. I know for a fact, we went in when they didn't.
I'm going to stop for now before I go off on an uncontrolable rant but if you need help blowing the whistle let me know.
