Awesome! The 500 foot parachute drop, certainly didn't give the Cubans a lot of time to target the Rangers. A fast ("Urgent" Fury) and proper invasion to rescue Americans and Grenadians with a lot of bravery and efficient use of the military. [Too bad we are not seeing that today, especially under the current leadership. Leadership?!?]
