Even though Capt Taylor was in command, I'd like to think he asked CW2 Ratliff if he was good with setting down and rescuing the patrol. I'm just curious- obviously everything worked out, but it looks like it was a virtual suicide mission and against orders. Two were risked to save four- extreme valor. What an inspiring story.
