    The Fact they knew Rangers would Die if they didnt take this terrible mission is True heroism to the highest degree. They could have easily sit back and stayed safe. This is one of the reasons why these guys were selected to be Delta Force operators. No one in the world is better than this group of guys. So much respect for them.

    I can attest to this op. And i can also say it was a mistake to not bring another shooter. But honestly think of how unselfish this act is. Brothers saving brothers all throughout this post. Hats off! The humbleness in voice, , and story make me proud to be an American!

      @@Calif5150 LOL. You apparently haven't listened to many Unit men talk about it. They came up with the term operator. Better check your facts before calling someone wrong. Many old school Unit guys have talked about this. They used "Operator" because they were from many branches and weren't all green berets or seals or recon so they came up with "Operator." Now every SOF calls themselves this but doesn't change the facts of it's origin and true meaning. Operation Iraqi Freedom included many mechanics and support and since they were all involved in an operation are they all operators now too?

    This story highlights their Selection process reasoning. Among other things, if shot and dying are you going to give up or not. They also do solo black ops, and if injured are you going to crawl your way out? We will never hear about those types of missions which I'd guess are more common based on their selection being solo. Interviews also revealed that often people would singularly disappear for a few months for missions and nobody would talk about it. And in this case he answered the question of needing people who's mind won't break before their body.

    Unless this guy had an opiate problem he was silently dealing with casualties pass out long before they even finish the sublingual dosage. That’s why protocol was to tape the stick to the finger and as they passed out the finger would ideally fall out the mouth. Sometimes would have to be removed by the the medic. I’m gonna share this interview with some more veterans and see what they think about this story

      It depends on the injury. I've used lozenges on a ton of pts from what I've observed it sucks for pain caused by bone fractures especially long bones.
