Actually it's not that we stick together I think it's just a case of we tend to think alike because of the training we go through. I think it's very similar to how most people who have been in the military (my father included) have a tendency to view things from a similar perspective that is somewhat different at times from those who have never served in the military.

Your idea about the embassy and the military base is a great one. My main goal was really more about getting back into US custody and on US soil so the embassy would have worked out great.

Still this guy is a complete moron for ever getting on the first plane to start with. There's no excuse for his actions.
