Bourdain's Beirut - Part 5

Tony compared the evacuation to a Metallica concert, gone horribly bad. I don't believe Mr. Bourdain was trying to be flip in this matter.

If you have seen the videos of Beirut, or watched it on TV, I think you would have to agree, that this experience changed the whole crew.

The US military takes a lot of grief. It is heartwarming to see the marines as something more than the gung-ho, fighting machines, that I'm sure they are.

In the clinch, it's good to see everyone trying to pull together. It's in these tough situations, we get to see people for who they really are.
