The Truth...

"They turned down taking vehicles..their biggest mistake.
The patrol had more detailed information than they had suggested...
Radio frequencies...the responsibilty was (Steve Mitchell) 'McNabs'..
Two rescue missions were launched..
The debriefings...no mention of at all of being involved in fire fights
with hordes of enemy or extremely heavy contacts with Iraqi
armoured vehicles and substantial contingents of infantry."
"When 'Ryan' was debriefed....no mention at all of encountering enemy troops on his trek.."
Comment:The author comes to the conclusion, very sadly, that a great many things were made up to provide the public with a hero(s), and by definition to sell the books.
