There was a incident years ago where some SF guys (SEALs or SAS, cant recall) all drowned during a night mission because they wanted too long to pull their chutes.
Paratroopers have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.
“But the military said that they would not be staging an inquiry into what happened because the injury rate was “acceptable”.
Civilian spokeswoman for the Joint multinational Training Command, which is under U.S. Army command, Denver Makle, said as the numbers injured ‘was within expected margins’ an investigation was not necessary.”
I just read a couple of days ago in “Seal team Six” Memoirs of an Elite Navy SEAL Sniper by Howard Wasdin and Stephen Templin, about one of their missions that a couple of guys drowned because something happened with the shoots when they hit water.
Prayers up for our fine men and women who’ve suffered in any way , shape or form by serving our Country ~
