Could they have done things differently, perhaps, take the lessons and move on but every life lost is on the bad guys head.

Another great post! I am interested in your opinion on the number of flash-bangs used here. I understand that each scenario is different and without all of the information it is impossible to know the answers to tactical questions; however, 11 flash-bangs seems excessive to me. In my limited experience, I’ve found at some point multiple flash-bangs have diminishing returns. Your thoughts?

On a separate note, I’ve had the worst case of tennis elbow for the past 3 months, so I appreciate your tip from an earlier post — I am already trying it at the gym.

Keep ’em going. And be safe!

Marty
