"The special operations troops, which could include Navy Seals or Green Berets, began dropping from the sky at about 4:50 a.m. Thursday. Guards on duty, who are trained to watch the skies following a helicopter escape in 1989 from a prison near Ordway, Colorado, held their fire after noticing the parachutists were soldiers."

Oh heck....in the 1980'we spread 200 airborne troops over 10 miles of area...no one came NEAR the drop zone. Factor Wind, guidance mistakes....Airborne today can be just as inaccurate as it was on June 5/6.

It's not missing the landing zone. Three miles is diddly. It's where they land that I think is amusing. Fortunately no one got shot.
