      Yeah, the one time they gave Rolling Stone a gun it was Ray's and he flagged pretty much everyone in the truck.

    Hey Ops Room, love the content. I'm still recovering losses and dealing with insurance over our property being wiped off the map this past summer by a large wildfire in BC, Canada.
    So we are pinching pennies. My entire support and appreciation goes out to you and your crew, and when financial straits are fully back to normal, I will absolutely be joining youtube, patreon, and anywhere else to help support you, because believe it or not, while we were evacuated and in uncertain straits about whose properties were lost and whose weren't, your videos helped keep my mind somewhat occupied, as opposed to being a total anxious mess. So I owe you. And I'll make good on that, you can be certain.
    Please go on and keep creating the great content you always have, and I'll always give it a watch and a like, for all that helps, until I've paid my debt back. Thank you Ops Room.
    Sincerely,
    Jay

      Likely intended to portray it, but ended up on the floor of the cutting room. At that point they're through the town, so the story flows a lot better to just end the gauntlet there, rather than add another 5-10 minutes of a stuck Hummer. I don't recall that part even being mentioned in Lt. Fick's book, so it doesn't seem it was a particularly important detail.
