Eighteen more soldiers dead?
Why, that wasn't supposed to happen for another 9 to 18 days!

Oh, I am so outraged, I...ah, forget it, what's on TV?


Sincerely,

The American Public

1. The woods line should have been secured for the LZ
I can't believe the woods were not scoured for shoulder SAMs and other enemy forces before using the LZ as intended. Sombody screwed up.

2. Excellent point
They bulldozed the groves, remember that? Playing jazz and tearing down the trees, because insurgents might be hiding there. Who the hell is in charge of security for our soldiers? Mr. Magoo?

4. Huh? The helicopter was not landing in an LZ
It was flying by. And it is not clear that the missile was shot from a wooded area.

You thinking of some other incident?
