Morning. Take your seats.
:14:03
Everything in order?
:14:04
- Just going over the sequence of events.
- Bring Colonel Serling up to speed.

:14:09
Morning, sir.
:14:09
Good to see you again.
:14:11
Could we get a picture
of you and the survivors?

:14:13
No, thank you.
:14:15
- Keep me in the loop.
- Thank you, sir.

:14:19
- Morning.
- Morning.

:14:21
Doug Bruno, White House.
Do everything my way and we'll be fine.

:14:26
Nat Serling.
:14:27
I'll, uh, get out of your way.
:14:32
- Major.
- Sir.

:14:33
25 February,
these men were part of a refueling convoy.

:14:36
Their Blackhawk was shot down
by an SA-7 west of Al Kufan.

:14:40
Five seconds after it locked on,
we were down.

:14:43
- We didn't know what hit us.
- Our lines were surrounding them so fast,

:14:46
we got caught in a pocket of resistance.
:14:49
Iraqi ground troops on the ridge above
kept them completely pinned down.

:14:54
Did you discuss surrendering?
:15:00
Yes, sir, we did.
:15:02
We were all wounded one way or another.
:15:04
We weren't trained
for that kind of situation, sir.

:15:07
Don't have to make excuses to me.
:15:10
Go on, Sam.
:15:11
That's all we got so far, sir.
:15:13
OK.
:15:15
- Lieutenant Chelli.
- Yes, sir.

:15:17
Well,
as if things weren't bad enough already,

:15:21
one of their T-54s...
:15:23
joins the ragheads up on the ridge.
:15:32
Incoming! Get down!
:15:37
That round
kills the medic, Relleno, Gerspach,

:15:42
and, uh, Egan here lost his leg.
:15:44
So we figure that's it. We're dead.
:15:48
But then we hear it.
:15:49
Nothing like the sound of an inbound Huey.
:15:57
Yeah!
