It was roughly 1.2 DME to the East. Accurate enough?
Sorry. But I thought I made a sensible enough suggestion. I agree that to find the right people on that night might have been hard, but we know the surrounding areas well enough to at least have given it a try. We all understand how dangerous that was.
We spend at lot of time there patrolling it, and no we wouldn't have shot the people resposible. That said, you would be supprised how co-operative a person will become when you have a MP5 in your hands. That said, it on our patrols we see some people with a RPG or SAM-7 on their shoulder, totally different ball game.
