Were you one of the guys who looked around and left, or one of the LATER guys who came in and blew all the doors off to make sure it was Really clear?

You may not know the real story...... I worked for Dept of State for a few weeks afterward as I was selected to be the personal bodyguard of the American Ambassador to Kuwait.

Tony's tigers ripped an empty embassy to shreds, I have the pictures. How Tony made rank above 2LT is beyond my understanding.
