r.c. thompson joining us from san diego. can you believe it's been ten years? >> i know, kyra.ppened and you were appointed to lead those air strikes over tora bora. take me back to that moment when you knew what the country wanted. everyone wanted osama bin laden dead. and here you were training with all the men and women to go over there and try and find him. what do you remember from getting those orders? >> well, i remember, kyra, that it was very personal for us. keep in mind we were charged with defending this country and when the events went down the way they did in new york, it was like somebody coming into your living room and attacking your family. so we had a very strong sense of revenge and payback and also making things right over there. and when we knew that we had the opportunity to actually corner and put al qaeda away or at least we thought we did, there was a sense that we could end it and end it early. >> you weren't able to find osama bin laden. as we know, it took almost ten years. when you found out that it finally happened, what went through your mind? wh
