## Quotes

**General Cook:** Bravo 1, this is General Cook. Son, you understand whoever has that phone runs an online recruitment site linked to at least eight domestic terror suspects?

**Jason Hayes:** Yes, sir. Read the briefing.

**General Cook:** Did your brief include names & photographs of all 36 Americans killed at that resort in Malaysia?

**Jason Hayes:** Yes, it did, sir.

**General Cook:** And the fact that the bomber spent over 19 hours at the website in question? Think you'll agree that justifies spending a few more minutes on target.

**Jason Hayes:** Copy that, sir.

**Jason Hayes:** We lose that girl, it's gonna affect Clay.

**Ray Perry:** Clay did two deployments in Afghanistan with Team 3. All right? Can't be the first time he hurt someone he didn't intend to.

**Jason Hayes:** He's never shot a girl before.

**Reema Bashar:** He's my brother's eldest son. He left school when he was 11 years old to work in his father's metal shop, and now he drives trucks.

**Jason Hayes:** Okay, trucks for what?

## **Reema Bashar:** What do you want to hear that he transports guns and bombs? You've met Naseem. Does he seem like someone you would trust with your weapons?!
**Eric Blackburn:** Our infill helos were two MH6 little birds. Which was the most that I could get approved for the lowest signature in this non-permissive environment. Each little bird brought over six on the benches. Between the extended fuel bladders and this high heat environment, we only have 200 pounds left to spare for exfil. So yes, sir, while I might be able to guarantee that we could squeeze one extra person on board a helo and maybe even lift off, I cannot guarantee that anyone will make it very far.

**Mandy Ellis:** Oh, and you asked me about Khalid Hazazi, the guy who wrote the article you found. Turns out he was a real baddie.

**Jason Hayes:** Was?

**Mandy Ellis:** Yeah, he was on all kinds of lists. Ran out of luck three years ago. Predator strike in Libya.

**Jason Hayes:** Three years ago. re you sure?

**Mandy Ellis:** I could send you the death photos, but I don't think you'd thank me.
