    I'm not an expert on this subject, but if the boss came to me and said...

    "Hey guys, it looks like there is only a slight chance that our guys are still at the camp. Do we go or shall we cancel"?

    My reaction would be, "Let's go get our guys."

    Maybe your reaction should then be to put in for a transfer because a smart boss would have said:

    "We are aborting the Son Tay raid as we no longer are sure there are POWs there. We have identified Dong Hoi as live and are going there in a month or so."

    No expertise needed... just a lick of sense.

    Judging from your attitude and vitriolic responses on this thread, it's apparent that you are the one who requires a "lick of sense."

    Now go ES&D.
