[Las Vegas Ron]

Have you ever served in the military?

No, I never did. I have a brother who was in the Air Force for twenty years so I do realize that it is an entirely different world from being a civilian.

I was not being a smart-ass. You stated the difference.

Your analogy using "Pointe-Du-Hoc" was, IMO, not applicable because the Rangers were fulfilling their assigned mission. Similarly, Lafkin's assigned mission is to deploy and provide medical services.
