These choppers have definitely been vulnerable as of late particularly to the terrorists' hand held rocket launchers that amazingly are yet another of our technological advances being used against us effectively in this war on terror just like the cell phones used to ignite IED's and google maps to locate our bases and other military or civilian targets.These are just a few examples along with many other pieces of technology and US ingenuity that these cave and hut dwellers couldn't have and didn't invent in the thousands of years they've inhabited the Middle East. But they sure are getting good at exploiting it for any and all unintended purposes one can imagine starting with 9-11.
In closing, May these soldiers lost in these recent attacks as well as all other 3099 dead plus non mortal casualties lost in this war rest in eternal peace and hopefully recover, and may all their sacrifices not be in vain at the hands of these terror appeasing Democrats and week kneed Europeans that want to capitulate to these radical Islamofascist magic carpet camel riders.
7 Die As U.S. Helicopter Crashes in Iraq:
My Way News - "BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - A Sea Knight helicopter crashed Wednesday in an insurgent stronghold northwest of Baghdad, killing all seven people on board, the military said, the fifth chopper lost in Iraq in just over two weeks.
A senior U.S. defense official said the helicopter did not appear to have been hit by hostile fire, but an Iraqi air force officer said it was downed by an anti-aircraft missile and an al-Qaida-linked Sunni group claimed responsibility for the downing." continued Filed under US Military, War on Terror, Iraq War,
