I find this unbearably sad.
Taken on a truck to a helicopter for a training exercise, rapelling down ropes in a military exercise area. Then when in the air, told that instead they have to capture an airfield in a neighbouring foreign country, no other details.
When they get out, after being shot at on the way in so they know this isn't some kind of joke, their officers have no idea what the objective is. Stay here and dig, near a runway, and wait for supplies an equipment.
Then the air attacks begin.. first chapter of a week long nightmare.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
