Got to give him credit for not hiding behind his postition to get out of a potentially dangerous assignment.

You call the tundra of the Falklands a "dangerous assignment"?

Potentially dangerous in that if the Argentines were to capture him, they could ransom him for the deed to the Falkland Islands. Just my take. ;-)

The Falklands conflict in the eighties cost over a thousand lives. It was pretty damned dangerous then. Hell; the weather in that part of the world is plenty dangerous on its own.

YES.Flying Search and Rescue helicopter anywhere is a dangerous assignment. The weather in the Falklands makes it particularly so.
