Following the news that Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl – who had been held captive by the Taliban since June 2009 – had been handed over to the U.S. in exchange for five Guantanamo detainees, it was revealed that fellow soldiers had died searching for the man who may have been a deserter.
Lt. Darryn Andrews Died Looking For Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl
Lt. Darryn Andrews had been on a mission to take down a Taliban commander in September 2009. After the mission was completed, Andrews' unit was ordered to continue onward in search of Bergdahl. It was on this extended mission that Andrews came face-to-face with a Taliban fighter readying himself to launch a rocket-propelled grenade, reported the Daily Beast.
Upon seeing the fighter, Andrews shoved the men on either side of him out of the way – a radio man and a sergeant – and shouted out “RPG” so that the five other soldiers with him would know to seek cover.

Fortunately, Deadline reports that Warner Bros. are getting into the pre-historic business with John Clisham, a frequent James Cameron collaborator, who’s directing and co-writing a dino-starring actioner with Mike Bayman. Originally developed as a web series with Break Media, the film revolves around “a rapidly evolving species of dinosaurs who attack modern Los Angeles,” or “a transported version of the ending to The Lost World.” (One that’s [hopefully] less terrible, however.) It’s obviously an inexperienced writing team and director, but a T-Rex eating the Hollywood sign is something you have to work pretty hard to screw up.
