I don't get it. If getting martyred for allah is such a great honor, you'd think at the first sign of an attack, these guys would be running outside waving flags and shouting insults at the copter pilots.

No, it took place concurrently, but on the other side of the border. Mountain Lion is U.S. and Afghan forces, while this was a Pakistani operation.
