there was that failure, too. Probably the worst. The radios should’ve worked on the summit, that was what they all were counting on.

I missed the message of the conversation between the Captain and the LtC.

do you mean the captain was outraged as opposed to incredulous?

He was a Navy CDR (O5 black oak leaf) I think. He was more incredulous than outraged. “Why am I hearing this now?...LCDR do we have a problem?”. The LCDR (Kristensen) later dies as part of the QRF in the CH47 shootdown . Incidentally, I think that same actor was an operator in “Black Hawk Down”.
