So wish that had gone a different direction, and some felt the mission could continue, but fate is a mother f-er some times. Good lessons were learned at least, and Beckwith actually spoke well of Carter regarding that event. Anyway, when the SAS come a knockin' chit heads tend to die badly. Will put movie on list.
