i was impressed, very good story and good suspense for a documentary. i highly recommend seeing this if you get a chance. the actual pilot recaps the story, the navy and marine officers who coordinated the rescue, and they even have the commander and an officer of the serb forces who were trying to capture him. it really hit home when the marines came to save the guy, and he talked about how he felt when he saw the chinook coming in.

seems like the movie "behind enemy lines" is loosely based on this event (it had potential, but owen wilson failed)

could you imagine being in a survival situation behind enemy lines? i know most of us are well prepared for the unthinkable in friendly territory, but this guy had to do things like eating bugs, drinking water from wet socks, and the plant edibility test, all while evading detection by enemy forces. the stress must be tenfold in a case like that. all i know is that no matter what survival situation i ever find myself in, i can always think, "hey, it could be worse, at least i'm not being hunted by serbian paramilitaries who wouldn't mind shooting me." it would really put things into perspective if you know what i mean.
