Maybe you are.

1. What's an "MMF"? My definition of an MMF is someone who walks through the valley of death and fears no evil as he is the 'meanest MFer' in the valley. Do you mean MFF?

2. When the article says "combat standoff miliftary freefall operation" I'm assuming (a dangerous word) that they are referring to a HAHO vs a HALO operation by ODA-074, which would make a difference. Attention to detail is important..."Now beat your boots!"

"after conducting the first ever combat standoff military freefall insertion of Operation Iraqi Freedom."

I have it on good authority, that prior to this jump, several HALO and HAHO jumps were conducted by US and coalition forces within Iraq. I know several people who got a chuckle at that line in the 'soldier of fortune' article.
