Them and their newest helo doing their lifesaving shi--er, stuff--in Africa:

The Air Force's newest rescue helicopter just pulled off its first life-or-death save during a deployment

“This team is equipped to travel great distances and fight their way in and out if necessary to make the mission happen.”

Love PJ'S. Awesome folks.

Everyone wants to do cool guy "stuff" until it's time to do cool guy "stuff".... PJs are a different breed.

You might be cool... But you'll never be cric'ing someone on the side of the road in a Hawaiian shirt and flip flops cool.

I have the upmost admiration for PJ’s. They never seem to get the recognition they deserve. Truly selfless American heroes and bad asses...

Yes the PJs are awesome and all that. My question though, Why do we have our PJs and the latest and greatest of our helicopters, on the front lines of a battlefield in Africa??

We have SOF all over Africa. ALL over Africa. That was a rescue squadron and not a special tactics squadron, so I imagine they were there for our guy's 911 service.
