Good find, Sand Rat. A real stud. SSG Payne looks like he didn't have much of problem hoisting those soldiers up and out of the Brad thru the cargo hatch. Notice, too, how he completely understated everything he did and gave all the credit to his squad. A hero and a great leader, too.

That family looks tough as nails! I wouldn't want to be a terrorist and meet either of them in a dark alley.
The father reminds me of "Ditka"---and I mean that as a compliment.
