not commenting much on the helicopter story, just saying on that part that accidents are part of military operation, and even more so when operating under wartime conditions - and to exclude that risk or talking it nice because it involves no active enemy fire, is absurd. I think 28 Germans have been killed in Afghanistan so far - the majority of them NOT by enemy fire. And allied helicopters repeatedly crashed in both Afghanistan and Iraq, also having caused loss of life.

Flying around in Afghanistan IS a dangerous thing. Wether one must use flowery language to describe that, is something different. But there are worse things. not knowng the difference between experience in foreign politics, and having a foreign land in sight on the horizon on a clear day, for example.
