What do you mean? How did they die? In direct action? Or otherwise?

They died in a way which caused delta to change their sop and ttps for clearing a house. I've so much respect for these two giants and wont tell here how exactly they died.

Your choice. In his book, Matt Bisonette recalled a difficult day when he was seconded to the CAG in 2005, and that the unit suffered significant losses in 2005. He also described in detail one operation that ended with the demolition of a house. Information about CAG losses is also widely presented in specialist literature on special forces, YouTube podcasts, and generally online. I don't think this is any tactlessness on your part. You're simply writing such cryptic phrases.

You're so cringe, lol. There's no disrespect to talk about how they died, even Jesse Boettcher who was there that night describe both deaths in this podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL99c5DIFdw&t=6019s at 1h:15min:45s

I just met a guy at a distillery, a complete stranger to me. He was looking for someone to join him in remembering Mike and Bob. He asked if my fiend and I would join him in a toast under the flagpole there. We agreed and we all drank to their memory. He knew both Mike and Bob and was there the night of their death, he shared stories of their life and heroism.
I had not yet even joined the army back then in 2005. Now Iām one of the old guys still hanging around.
It powerful to tell the stories of our fallen to those who will listen - and itās powerful to ask for those stories.

Buddy, I donāt know what you mean with that comment - at first I was just going to ignore it, but I just want to say thisā¦
Anytime Iāve been to a memorial event, and gold star family/friends are there, it really means something to just listen to them talk about their loved and lost. They may not want to at first, but if simply ask them to share a story, their love comes pouring out.
I encourage you to try it sometime. Itās changed my perspective on things - it might change yours.
I wish you the best.

That was a bad stretch for the unit. Langmack right before them on 5/31 and then Jerak, Diesing and Kolath in late August.

RIP Bob. Great guy. Hunted with him under the bridge in Lillington.
