The US just lost a couple more in a helicopter crash recently in Afghan. I say the war is done, bring them home now! I served in Iraq in 2007 so I have the right to say end it! My condolences for your loss! :nope:

I've still got one friend serving over there...a Major in the army and a SubSim member.
