Tough scenario all around. Chris made the comment that this is the sort of attack that gets the officer fragged as he’s explaining what the soldiers are supposed to do.
This is an amazing edit job. I can’t imagine how tedious this had to have been.

My basement looked like a computer graveyard this past week while on vacation. My primary PC, as I had mentioned, is strewn all over the desk in a tangle of cables, drives and panels. I’ve pulled my drive cages and have three loose drives sitting on the table, wired into the system. [...]
A couple of weeks ago, we had our front yard landscapped. It looks nice: new trim, extended beds, lots of new plants and so on. Down by the mail box, we had three examples of Japanese Blood Grass. They looked really good.
