Also why you had everything you owned dummy corded.

IrishYanksFan---Just so no former Battboys get on here and lose their minds, I would suggest looking at the history of Operation Just Cause to determine some of the differences/distinctions between some of the units in special operations command, as many of the relevant units were involved in that operation. Pay particular attention to the different targets selected for the different units(i.e. the Ranger Regiment initially attacked airfields, etc).
Too funny. LOL, I remember seeing one guy try to put a quarter in a tree thinking it was a phone booth. To make it even more hilarious, the guy was using an imaginary quarter.
