Have to agree, Zonie. It was something to meet guys involved with the Bay of Pigs, catching Che, Son Tay and singular acts of incredible heroism that will never be known to the public. The importance of these events to a young buck sergeant just out of training group is immeasurable. Probably the most important thing learned is that anything is possible when properly planned, trained and executed. This is one of the things that separates SF from the rest. When approached with an idea for a mission that makes anyone else think, "Holy Shit! No effin' way!", an SF guy thinks, "Well, I am going to need so and so, and we will need a lot of such and such to get this done." Not that there aren't mission impossibles out there but if it can be done, we can plan it, train for it and carry it out...
