ISO Downed Pilot:Officer Dude! This way...


September: Two LAR War Pigs are in the Camp Lejune, NC week long drill course on tactical recovery of aircraft personnel. The line "Officer Dude! This way..." is from another hotly contested recovery of a downed US pilot caught between Saddam forces and US Army. The confused pilot, trapped in the middle, couldn't figure out who the friendlies were-both were firing and both yelling at him in English until finally he heard one side yell: "Officer Dude! This way..." USMC photo Lance Cpl. David J. Beall
