My squad was conducting an exercise in which were to establish a landing zone for a Black Hawk, get lifted to another area for our drop, then spend the next several days hauling our equipment on foot, setting up and conducting operations at the whim of our analysts (who were all cocksuckers, btw). The morning of the operation came, we trekked out to setup the landing zone and then received orders to pack up and go back to bed. The pilot didn't want to fly in the combination of light rain and dark. Our company commander was so pissed that he called off the entire operation eventhough we could have been trucked out if necessary. If I could have bought that chopper pilot a beer, I would have.
