Chinook Down; 13 reported dead

[Mike Teacher]

FUCK!!!

I shouldnt be fucking alive, as my dad flew these things in Korea, and I was flown by him, and jesus fucking christ they just said it was 13 USA dead [this will change by the time you read this i am sure]; a group of 30 on the craft.

The Chinook is familiar as the 'long helicopter with two rotors'; meaning two main rotors, one fore, one aft; for helicopters, they are huge.

This is not a statement on the war, president, world situation, but this really fucks me up.

God or Not; gonna do some praying today...

First my prayers for the family and loved ones.



I gots to tell you all, this makes me furious, it just sends me into a rage.
Making it worse is knowing that this will happen again and again and again.

George Bush is the Dan Snider of presidents.

Why? Is he going to make the troops wear "GHWB -- 'A Thousand Points of Light'" patches on their uniforms?

No, while the war in Iraq seemed like a good idea, he failed to consider all of the possible outcomes.
He decided it would work out the way he wanted it to just because he wanted it to.

The main reason is they're both in over their heads and just don't know what the hell they're doing.
