A moment of silence for our fallen warriors.
This is indeed a dark day for US special operations in Afghanistan.
He doesn't care. But I do. I pray for the soldier's families in their time of sorrier. God Bless Each and Everyone Of You.
Get out of this endless quagmire now before we sacrifice any more blood and taxpayer $. Bin Laden is dead – the REAL mission is accomplished. Time to cut our loses and regroup to go home. No need to be there any more.
Wow – this is a real blow to our service men and my heart goes out to their families No matter what the mission was – I am sure these BRAVE soldiers did it without any objections or qualms.... Dang, what a lost!!!
To all of the soldiers – RIP – to the families, may God be with you during this sad moment!!!
That whole thing smells like a "leak" was involved. Interesting how something caused them to shoot down that particular Chinook.
