>"There cannot be any survivors; it just would be beyond comprehension."
>--  Donald Rumsfeld, US Secretary of Defense, speaking of missing
>Pentagon personnel on September 11, 2001 -- just nine hours after
>impact.
>
>"And just as we may not rescue them from a fire, so may we not rescue
>them from a collapse [of debris] or from water or from anything that
>may destroy them."
>
>June 23, 2002 -- The recent movie "Black Hawk Down (Leave No Man
>Behind)" deals with an important lesson -- the military has two jobs.
>The military must destroy the enemy's forces and they must ensure the
>survival of their own.  "Black Hawk Down (Leave No Man Behind)"
>dramatizes a story of survival: the heroic efforts of soldiers who
>attempted to rescue their fellows who were trapped behind enemy lines
>in Mogadishu, Somalia.  The rescuers themselves become trapped, and
>they, too, needed to be rescued.
>
>For about 140 minutes, "Black Hawk Down (Leave No Man Behind)" deals
>with how much soldiers -- from the generals down to the enlisted man
>-- care about each other.  We see soldiers risking their lives to get
>their wounded buddies, risking grenades, risking machine gun fire,
>risking rockets, risking belligerent mobs -- all to rescue other
>soldiers.  We hear dialogue that goes like this:
>
>"Medivac! Medivac!"
>"No man gets left behind,"
>"You all right?"
>"No man gets left behind,"
>"We won't leave you behind,"
>"If he don't get to the hospital in 1/2 hour, he's in trouble!"
>"No man gets left behind."
>
>At one point, two soldiers are talking about a helicopter crash.  The
>dialogue goes something like this: "There can't be any survivors,"
>says the first man.  The second replies: "We don't know that, we
>gotta go back and look!"
>
>At the conclusion of the movie, soldier hero Sgt. Hoot Gibson is
>asked why he risks life and limb in these military actions: Is he a
>war addict?  Hoot replies:
>"It's about the man next to you."
>
>Camaraderie, being a team member -- that's what the US military is about.
>
>Or is it?
>
>What would you think of a military that refused to rescue its
>soldiers from certain death -- even though those soldiers were within
>arm's reach, right in the Pentagon office building?
>
>What would you think of a military that publicly pretended rescue,
>but meanwhile deceitfully ensured the deaths of its own soldiers?
>
>What would you think of a military that gave away the its rightful
>jurisdiction over military matters to perfidious civilians, and stood
>by while the civilians let US soldiers die?
>
>Who would support such a military?
>
>As you read this article, keep in mind that on September 11, the
>Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was General Henry Hugh Shelton.
>Shelton is a former Commanding General of the 101 and 82nd Airborne
>Divisions.  He is a former Commanding General of the XVIII Airborne
>Corps, and a former Commander in Chief of the Special Operations
>Command.  It was Special Operations that conducted the "Black Hawk
>Down (Leave No Man Behind)" mission in Mogadishu, Somalia.  (See

>There's what you need to know:  On September 11, the top commander of
>the entire US military machine was intimately familiar with aircraft,
>aviation fuel fires, aircraft rescue, and the ideals depicted in
>"Black Hawk Down (Leave No Man Behind)."
>
>However, those who directed the 9-11 rescue at the Pentagon did these
>amazing things:
>
>      * They sprayed the aviation fuel fire with water.  Every
>housewife knows you don't spray water on a grease or oil fire; both
>military and civilian aviation fire fighters know you don't spray
>water on an aviation fuel fire.     * They allowed the fire to spread
>until the upper floors of the Pentagon collapsed, burying Army and
>Navy personnel in the debris and further hampering their rescue.
>      * Once the upper floors collapsed, the directors of the rescue
>flouted standard rescue procedures for collapsed buildings.
>      * While there should still have been hope of finding survivors
>alive, they used a wrecking ball to demolish sections of the building
>still standing.  Many additional tons of debris crashed down upon the
>already buried victims, almost certainly collapsing any spaces or
>voids which may have sheltering victims in the original debris.
>      * When qualified emergency medical technicians arrived by
>helicopter to rescue the victims, they were ordered to leave and
>forbidden from returning.  One wave of survivors were brought out,
>and then there were no more . . .
>      * One flimsy excuse after the other was used to stop the work and
>delay rescue operations.
>      * Civilian rescuers worked long shifts and became exhausted with
>wrongheaded methods.  Meanwhile,  thousands of able-bodied military
>personnel at nearby bases -- including those specially trained in
>putting out aviation fires -- sat and watched the drama on Tee Vee.
>      * Surviving military intelligence officers lost jurisdiction over
>military intelligence documents and those documents were collected by
>civilians not cleared to see them.
>
>Meanwhile, the Pentagon front office made a media spectacular of the
>fire.  Donald Rumsfeld and other Pentagon officials wrung their hands
>and cried, "How awful, how awful" for days, stoking up passions for a
>war.
>
>Do I believe that the well-meaning, desperate, and exhausted rescuers
>we saw on TV intended anything but the best?  No.  I believe the
>people doing the work had the very best intentions and were trying to
>save lives.   But they were relying on the leadership to make
>decisions.  They naturally followed orders as they are trained to do.
>Among the people I accuse are:
>
>      * Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at that time, Gen. Henry
>Hugh Shelton,
>      * Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense,
>      * Paul Wolfowitz, Deputy Secretary of Defense,
>      * Rabbi Dov Zakheim, Undersecretary/Comptroller of DoD,
>      * Secretary of the Army Thomas E. White,
>      * Other commanders of the National Military Command Center,

>Let us begin by accepting one of the Official Truths of 9-11:
>American Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon, and exploding jet fuel
>caused an inferno.  The fire obviously threatened the lives of those
>still in the building, and it threatened to spread.  It had to be put
>out quickly.
>
>Liquid petroleum fires present a special problem to firefighters.
>Ordinarily, water is used to douse building fires.  But liquid fuel
>floats on the top of water, giving the fuel access to oxygen.  Thus
>water does not extinguish a liquid petroleum fire.
>
>Special foams have been developed to extinguish liquid petroleum
>fires.  Those foams are mixtures that float on the surface of the
>fuel and cut off the oxygen, suffocating the combustion.

>The MedStar pilot and crew were among the very first at the scene,

>
>How does that comport with the "Black Hawk Down (Leave No Man

>The MedStar people, to their eternal credit, refused to leave.  By

>
>"After the crew transferred one patient back to the Washington
>Hospital Center, they were not allowed to go back because of the

>space."
>
>So what we have is this: MedStar arrived and was immediately ordered
>to leave.  They refused, rescued eight people, took one to the

>Now who would prohibit a MedStar helicopter to return to the scene of
>a disaster and take victims to the hospital?  Those MedStar
