report said Col davis volunteered to go back in after those guys....I wonder if that's true. It sounds like obligatory reporting cause the guy was giving them an interview. Not sure if you can force helicopter pilots to turn around and go back but I would have tried.
now sam...i like you, you've got heart and stand by your convictions...
but would you have turned around?? how do you know
would you shoot a child because they were about to throw something at your convoy? (candy, paper, trash, rock, grenade) and do it without hesitation?

I know, absolutely unacceptable, and ledhead is jerking you around with his claims about body counts. We probably did kill an entire generation of Vietnamese but they still won the war....the body count numbers were massively exaggerated because central planners in Washington decided that was the best metric for evaluating how you are performing in a war... You can google "whiz kids" and "Vietnam War" if you want to learn more.

Everyone is more than capable of that...we just pretend we have moved beyond it. As far as "going back" is concerned...without hesitation...I would volunteer.
I have a very low metric when it comes to self-preservation and I come from a culture where you put a sidearm to your head when you fail....
