I think that people just weren't very fond of Angel, so the fact that Randy did not express any joy towards Angel is probably just that.

But since it is such a small world, I always leave the door open for something more nefarious.

The US Army does not get called up for local law enforcement. We got people being eaten, so I can suspend some disbelief, but in my mind it is easier for a rogue element to call up a few people than it is for the massive legal bureaucracy to get moving. There are just so many levels of crap that the system has to churn through to get an order to Angel, Michael and Saul

They get called really early. Unless there is a conspiracy to contact them, we have to believe that events on the ground go up the chain of command of local law enforcement, filter to federal government, back to the military and back down to boots on the ground.

So, is Randy not surprised/Glad that Angel made it because of a conspiracy he knew was in place or just because of enlisted man bravado?
Also, I'm assuming that Kc did this just so that the story could unfold, one of the instances where he can't keep to fact, otherwise it not make the story progress properly.
