Supposedly the truck broke an axle... He didn't pick the location if that is true.

The victor always gets to write the history.

With all the mention he made of his unconventional tactics and training, I would have suspected the burnt truck to be a decoy. Why the fuck would you deliberately advertise your location, in an area easily searched and with few other people? I could see lighting the truck up and then making back to the city as a diversion. I guess it just speaks toward the general wackedness of his mental state.

To destroy evidence? It works on NCIS, right?

Based on what they're showing on the live feed, it looks to me like they're going to try and close this out before nightfall.

Looks like it's coming down now, cabin in flames

Ahh, yes, the burn 'em out tactic.

they call that "the waco"

Military channel aired a "An assault on Waco" last night. Thought the timing was kind of ironic.

Is setting fire to a building the suspect is in a standard operating procedure?
