| 25th Infantry unit stationed at Schofield Hawaii loses 10 in one day when the helo went down |
|
the other day....14 total perished....
Now I read some will get promotions posthumously....
I guess they cannot do anything else so the Generals promote the dead so the families might feel better/get more death bennies?
I wish I knew...
