Rylan Collins
26-year-old Lieutentant in the U.S. Navy

Rylan sings a mean Journey, but we are not treated to a sample.

Rylan picks up with his $10,000 question and three of his four lifelines.

$10,000:

Spoiler

Rylan was a part of OEF. He knows that A and B are recent. He believes that a lot of today's tactics are in response to mistakes made in Black Hawk Down, so he'll go with it.

I don't know when this was taped but I saw this a couple weeks ago on Facebook of all places.

Black Hawk Down was about the debacle in Somalia, which was part of Operation Gothic Serpent.

10K: Prolly China, but Emirates have been building those towers of Babel. Waste 50/50 on this

20K: Black Hawk was Somalia, in Clinton era. Think Three Kings, but use "get rid of Q" if I had it. They only give this to vets, though. If I was playing I'd call my +1 down at this point. Wish I still had 50/50.

I'm sorry Rylan missed his $20K question; that's really got to hurt for him.

I really can't understand why the United Arab Emirates because such an effective distractor in this ATA. Sure, the Arabs have oil money, but do they have any idea how small the UAE is? That construction would make one heck of a big block of concrete!
