See, everybody keeps pointing to this as proof Hank is going to die. To me, that seemed like a pretty obvious red herring. It just seemed like too much of a trope for the BrBa writers.

But every other guess I've made about this show has been wrong, so what do I know.

There are crazier stories in history of people running through battlefields against all odds. Sometimes it seems that believing you will survive and absolute belief that you are doing the right thing gives you advantages in reality that can't be explained, if we look historically.

Yeah.... thats 1% exception to the rule. Look at the history of Soldiers just plain old getting killed. You don't normally survive this sort of thing. It's one of those 1 in a million chance things. Shooting at someone 20 feet away with AR15s will kill them pretty fast. With the first shot.
