"what could he have been thinking?"
1. I wonder if this is the SOB that gutted that poor woman?
2. Is that a grenade in his pocket or is he just thinking of goats?
3. You want to see Allah? Here let me help.
4. This SOB lives, and I'll have to fight him another day.
5. Is he about to self-detonate?
6. God I hope I make it home alive and this SOB doesn't kill me.
Just a few ideas to answer your particularly pompous question.
Yeah, it was a poor choice of words on my part. I understand what he must've been thinking, and I hate to second-guess him. It's a difficult situation, particularly with cameras rolling.
it's all good!!!!
