Sure they
have some great gear, and small survival tin kits with a lot of useful tools (and
of course the training to go along with it) but I think it’s interesting that Robert
O'Neill mentions CASH as the first thing that comes to mind if he ever has to make
his way home on his own after a mission. What does he do when he gets a call
right before getting in a plane to go God knows where? Hit the ATM for as much
cash as he can and buys some tobacco.
“I know I’m going to jump somewhere but I don’t know where I’m going to end up. And I can buy my way home with money, or somewhere else I can barter with tobacco…plus I love tobacco”.
Folks that
have never been to 3rd world countries just don’t understand the
power of a 20, 50, let alone 100 USD bill. With absurd conversion rates in most
of the third world, a 50 dollar bill is in parts of the world more money than
the average person there will see in the same place in his entire life. You can
buy shelter, food, you can buy transportation or even loyalty.
Cash is
king indeed.
