It may serve to illustrate our efforts if I point out that no FAC, past or present, is allowed to buy his own drinks in any Army bar, anywhere, anytime.
At that memorial dedication, James Duffy (the Special Ops poet mentioned above) said, "I always loved it when the FAC showed up overhead, because the bad guys completely stopped shooting at me, and fired at him instead." BTW, the movie version of BAT 21 with Gene Hackman and Danny Glover was complete and utter Hollywood crappola. For a real insight into that most massive rescue attempt ever conducted, please get my friend Darrel Whitcomb's book. LINK
