I just got back from Norway, and it was brought out to me there that 2,700 people per day on average get killed as a direct result of conflict. Out of that, nine out of 10 are civilians. This is going on today, as we speak. No, our job that day was to hang ourselves out like a carrot on the end of a stick in front of the donkey. My crew was willing to give our lives to save the people, the American soldiers on the ground.
