Ted Striker: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We’re bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We’re coming in from the north, below their radar.
Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back?
Ted Striker: I can’t tell you that. It’s classified.

Reminds me of Gulf War 1 which I was watching closely since my son was there with the 82nd. Just before the land war started, the military was giving a press conference and some press idiot asked. “Can you tell us which Kuwaiti beach you are going to land on?” He was not given an answer to that. Actually we did an end run with the Abrams and Sheridan tanks, and the British Centurions. I have some photos of hundreds of Iraqui soldiers lying in the sand with their hands over their heads in surrender. I think in some cases, our troops just drove on by to where there was real action.
