In The Army Now / int_608bf5a0	comment	Shoot the Hostage: The U.S. Air Force almost does this, accidentally, with the group. After they're captured Bones tries to cut through the bars on the window so that they can escape, as he pries a window bar loose, an alarm sounds, and shuts off when he puts it back. When he carefully tries it again, Bones thinks he set off the escape alarm, only for Sgt. Stern to correct him saying it's the air raid alarm. The group huddles in the middle of the cell and yell in terror as the Libyan aircraft, control tower, and the fuel and weapons depots get blown to smithereens.
