“Geez, really, guys - a helo was all over the suspect, he wasn’t getting away.”
Exactly, because when you can see them from a helicopter, that’s basically caught!/ Just like in demolition man when the surveillance cam located Simon Phoenix and they all began celebrating because the crime was “solved”.
I remember another time in the marines. After a company size attack against a position defended by some NROTCs on a summer training exercise, one female ROTC was explaining how the company was wiped out because “i saw him, and him, and him, and that whole platoon, etc etc.” In her mind seeing was a good as a kill.
