I agree with you.... but perhaps as this story develops more details come out.
But, I still do not believe that that Ex-Navy Seal was focusing his laser on a target just to get his tingles on.

He was focusing that laser on his target for a reason and IF ? he knew there was not any air support close by there would have been no logical point to even try to acquire a target.
Since he had his laser focused on a target that most likely means there was air assets in the sky at the time close by.

What he KNEW was that the F-18s in Sicily were only 23 minutes out at top speed.

What he did NOT know was that his CIC was going to go to bed and leave him to die!
