I wanted to just scream when I heard about this. It's going to be hard for the families. I can't imagine.

I smell a set up on these guys. Maybe we will hear if it was small arms or surface to air that took the Chinook down. I guess we heard too much already and this put a target on them.

Current reports say it was a solo RPG after a raid had taken place.

I think I would favor just pulling every last American and coalition troop and support person out NOW. We have already announced that we will soon leave, so all the Taliban has to do is lay relatively low and conserve/rebuild their strength. Why sacrifice any more lives for what will ultimately be a lost cause?

Hey this is just a thought that I hope I'm right. Seal Team Six has been hounded pretty hard by the media including their families. Do you think this could be a false report to get the media off these brave men and their families to protect them and their families? Just a hopeful thought.
