Be that as it may, you'd think at the very least they would want to
prevent Reinhart from being injured. I still can't get over that scene.
Actually, I also wonder if maybe the scene was streched for dramatic
effect. Maybe in reality it wouldn't have seemed so long. Or maybe
eveyone was so completely shocked that they couldn't think. Of course,
you wouldn't expect that kind of reaction from these guys, whom Reinhart
chose partially for their ability to think on their feet.
