Patel said he never felt in any real danger. "It's a strange war," he said. "It's incredible how accurate the Israeli shelling was. It's very precise, targeted bombing. It's not like they're leveling all of Lebanon.

"I'm just glad we didn't wait for the Marines," Patel said in an interview from home Friday.

Yeah, you terrorist-defenders might have accidently fallen overboard on the ship with the Marines. Accidently.
