If it was the Elsan,pax perhaps been 5hitting bricks due being given a 'fun' ride in such a Heath-Robinson'esque device ?
Elsan perhaps A bog standard air drop then?

Well I'm a little embarrassed at this marine lieutenant’s “valley girl” public response.
“um whatever um”…..?
…and his attitude seems a bit trite.
May I suggest that when you publicly represent a screw up, especially one that could have killed somebody, be a bit more humble to the PEOPLE you are sworn to defend via the constitution.
