Afghan helicopter crash kills 31 US troops

Just as what the Pentagon spokesperson said. It's a tremendous loss because these are highly trained combatants(special forces).

It's a lot of people who died, a lot of highly trained people who are not easy to replace within short amount of time.

What I am also wondering is, is this coincidence? What with more than 20 navy seals onboard that did the raid on Bin Laden?
If it wasn't coincidence then the Taliban have some seriously good informants.

Helos sometimes just fall out of the sky.

Tragic loss.

31 lives lost, 31 dreaded knocks on the door, 31 weep-ing mothers, 31 written letters, 31 families greiving, 31 flag draped coffins, 31 vollies of gun fire, 31 new head stones, 31 empty places at the table, 31 service men reporting to God almighty, we pray that all 31 rest in peace amen.

Some how I believe this was planned by the taliban. But that's just me.
