tanker: We saw something long and black in the window,
pointing at us. I looked through the thermal imager and it was

reporter: Didn’t you worry about making a mistake?
tanker: I looked up the building in the National Register
of Historic Sites. Not there.
reporter: And how did you feel?
tanker: I hadn’t slept for three days, but adrenaline
keeps you going. Anyone who goes into a war zone knows what could
happen, I mean anyone.
reporter: But how did you feel about what you’d done?
tanker: Sir, based on the grilling I’ve gotten today,
information weapons are the most powerful. It’s no wonder we
lost that battle.
